Bill > PR26-0434

This resolution seeks to confirm Maura Marino as a member of the Public Charter School Board in Washington, DC. Based on her extensive professional background in education reform, Marino brings significant experience in public education, having worked with organizations like City Fund, Education Forward DC, and NewSchools Venture Fund. Her career has focused on improving educational opportunities for students, particularly in underserved communities, with notable achievements including helping Washington, DC become the fastest-improving city for student outcomes and directing over $150 million in philanthropic support toward educational initiatives. The resolution appears to be supported by a legal sufficiency review from the Office of the General Counsel to the Mayor, which found the appointment resolution legally unobjectionable. Marino's professional credentials include a bachelor's degree from Stanford University, a master's in teaching from Columbia University, and an MBA from Harvard Business School, and she has served on multiple education-related boards and been recognized for her contributions to public education.
