Subject: Appointment To Head Start Advisory Board From: Office Of The Mayor Recommendation: Adopt A Resolution Confirming The Mayor’s Appointment Of Stephanie Wilborn As A Member Of The Head Start Advisory Board

Summary

The document asks the Oakland City Council to confirm Mayor Barbara Lee’s appointment of Stephanie Wilborn to the nine-member Head Start Advisory Board. The seat is vacant, and the board provides community oversight, advises on program planning and policy, monitors Oakland’s Head Start and Early Head Start programs, and supports compliance with federal standards. Wilborn’s background includes early-childhood teaching, nonprofit family services, policy research, and work with underserved communities. Under City Charter Section 601 and Ordinance No. 13230, Council confirmation requires five affirmative votes. The resolution contains an apparent discrepancy: its title and recitals name Wilborn, but the operative section lists Page Tomblin for a March 12, 2026–March 11, 2029 term.
