Chair Gutiérrez asks about contract registration staff
Gutiérrez asks if staff moved to contract registration are still working on it. Liss says temporary staff returned to home agencies, but NYCPS staff remain focused on registering contracts and payments.
Okay.
And then just quickly on the, I think the response, the city's response to the contract registration.
I want to give you your flowers.
I think
Everyone took it seriously.
Everyone was urgent.
Everyone wanted to get these contracts registered and payments made.
So I want to thank you all.

So we want to.
Avoid that.
Of the staff that was moved from other agencies into the department for the purpose of contract registration, are they still working on contract registration at this point?
The staff who temporarily came over to support the New York City Public Schools team have all returned to their home agencies,
though within New York City Public Schools, a large number of staff remain focused wholly on making sure that all early childhood provider contracts are registered and that all providers receive their contract advances as soon as those contracts do register.
