Brewer asks about roles of 200 new staff
Brewer asks what the 200 new employees will do. Phillips says they include field staff, instructional coaches, social workers, inclusion specialists, and contracting analysts to speed payments.
And one more question.
Where are those 200 people going to do?
The ones you mentioned.
It's a great question.
So for the additional staff, that includes many of our field staff who are working directly with the child care program.
Have they started or they're going to?
Yes, some have started.
So we have hired additional staff and are continuing to actively recruit and hire for those.
But we have our instructional coaches, our social workers, our inclusion specialists.
Additionally, on the contracting and payment side, we are bringing in additional analysts so that we can facilitate these payments going through in a faster manner.
