Commission on Out of School Time Grants and Youth Outcomes Leandro Travieso Confirmation Resolution of 2025
Summary
This resolution confirms the appointment of Leandro Travieso to the District of Columbia Commission on Out of School Time Grants and Youth Outcomes. The appointment is made at the request of the Mayor and fills a vacant seat for the remainder of an unexpired term ending November 7, 2028. The resolution cites the District’s Confirmation Act and the Office of Out of School Time Grants and Youth Outcomes Establishment Act of 2016 as the legal basis for the confirmation.
The measure does not create a new program or change substantive policy; instead, it authorizes Council confirmation of a specific individual to a preexisting advisory/oversight commission focused on youth development and out-of-school-time programming. The resolution also directs that copies be transmitted to the nominee and the Mayor and takes effect immediately upon adoption.
Impact
The bill’s impact is limited to District governance and board/commission membership. It confirms one representative of an organization providing youth development programs to serve on the Commission on Out of School Time Grants and Youth Outcomes, thereby filling a vacancy and ensuring the commission can continue operating with a full complement of members. It does not amend the underlying youth services statutes, but it implements the appointment procedures established under D.C. law and affects the composition of the commission that helps oversee grants and youth outcomes.
Sentiment
The available record suggests broad, routine support for the nomination. There were no committee transcript snippets indicating opposition or debate, and the legal sufficiency review found the resolution legally unobjectionable. The final reading vote was unanimous, 12-0, indicating consensus approval by the Council.
Contention
No notable substantive contention appears in the materials provided. Because this is a confirmation resolution rather than a policy bill, any discussion would likely center on the nominee’s qualifications and the need to fill the vacancy rather than on competing policy positions. The record provided does not show objections from councilmembers, stakeholders, or the public.
