Gutiérrez asks about NYC Reads Together partnership
Gutiérrez asks whether City's First Readers is a formal NYCPS partner. Rogel says it is not, but it is working with New York City Reads Together to incorporate early childhood.
And just to confirm, at this point, you are not partners necessarily with NYCPS, like formal partners, correct?
No, we are not.
I know you've spoken to Shari, so she's working with the New York City Reads Together.
Yes, our DC is here.
I want her to hear it.
Oh, yeah.
So New York City Reads Together, I know they are trying to incorporate the early childhood piece of it.
So we are working with them.
They're trying to work with the City's First Readers model.
Excellent.
Well, I support it.
And I think so many of our colleagues, we were joined briefly by Chair Dinowitz, who as well has been supporting this initiative for a long time.
