The chancellorship may be up in the air, but the leadership team of the D.C. school board is staying put. Ted Trabue and Laura McGiffert Slover were re-elected to their posts as president and vice president, respectively, of the D.C. State Board of Education following Wednesday’s election.
Trabue, the board’s at-large member, was nominated at the Feb. 2 public meeting by Ward 5 Rep. Mark Jones. “He served this body admirably last year, representing this body before the executive office, the city council and the community at large,” Jones said. “Whenever we had difficult issues that came before us, he exercised great patience. He always performed his due diligence, and he consulted his colleagues in his decision-making.”
Slover represents Ward 3. Both she and Trabue will remain in charge through January 2012.
