New York City Council · Sep 15, 2026 · starts 2:00:36 · 1 min 1 sec

Narcisse asks if policy information is available in different languages and whether DOE will sign the Microsoft agreement that AFT and UFT have. Giunta confirms the website translates into many languages and says she needs to speak with VP Vaccaro about the agreement.

Mercedes Narcisse

I'm so appreciative.

Mercedes Narcisse

It's structure and guardrails we have to put for our children.

Mercedes Narcisse

I heard about the guidance, I mean, how we're distributing the information and all.

Mercedes Narcisse

It is available in different languages, the information that we're giving?

Danielle Giunta

Our policy?

Danielle Giunta

Our policy is on our school website, and our website translates into many languages.

Danielle Giunta

Confirm for me our number.

Mercedes Narcisse

I have one.

Danielle Giunta

Do you want to know how many languages, or you're good?

Mercedes Narcisse

The languages, as long as you have it in all languages, especially in the different schools that are located from Spanish, Haitian, Creoles, and all.

Mercedes Narcisse

Yes.

Mercedes Narcisse

Are you going to sign on the Microsoft agreement that AFT and UFT have?

Mercedes Narcisse

Do you hear that?

Danielle Giunta

Oh, thank you for that.

Danielle Giunta

I do need to speak with Vice President Vaccaro about that.

Danielle Giunta

We haven't had a chance to connect on it.

Danielle Giunta

Does that come up for us?

Danielle Giunta

Not yet.

Danielle Giunta

Thank you.

Mercedes Narcisse

Because we talk about safeguards and God well and structure.
