Opponents of Mayor Adrian Fenty’s school takeover plan are questioning his appointments to the Board of Education, saying that representation east of the Anacostia River is “unbalanced.”
Fenty has appointed three people to the nine-member board, but only one of those appointees, Tonya Kinlow, lives east of the Anacostia. His other appointees, Laura McGiffert Slover and Ted Trabue, live in wards 3 and 4 respectively. Slover and Kinlow were confirmed by the D.C. Council Tuesday.
