RESOLUTION CONFIRMING THE NOMINATION OF MICHAEL R. RICCI OF GUILFORD TO BE REAPPOINTED A MEMBER OF THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION ARBITRATION PANEL.
This bill confirms the governor's nomination of Michael R. Ricci from Guilford to serve as a neutral arbitrator on the State Department of Education Arbitration Panel. The resolution approves his reappointment for a term ending June 30, 2028, or until a successor is appointed and qualified, whichever occurs later. This action allows Ricci to continue his role in resolving disputes within the education system as part of the state's existing arbitration process. The measure is a procedural confirmation that does not alter policy but validates an administrative appointment.
