BOARD OF EDUCATION

Council to Discuss Nominee

The D.C. Council has scheduled a hearing for today to discuss confirming Mayor Adrian M. Fenty's selection to fill an open seat on the D.C. State Board of Education.

Fenty (D) nominated Robert A. Wines to fill a seat vacated by Tonya Vidal Kinlow, whom he named in October as the school system's first ombudsman. Wines is chief executive and president of a Net2it, a District-based information technology consulting firm.

The hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. at the John A. Wilson Building downtown.
