Gutiérrez asks about communication with current 2K providers. Phillips says providers received visits from social workers and instructional coordinators, and they welcome site visits from council members.

Jennifer Gutiérrez

And then for the current 2K providers, I guess, what is the cadence of communication with them?

Jennifer Gutiérrez

What are they, I know it's very early on, but are you checking in on them?

Jennifer Gutiérrez

How is it going for these providers?

Jennifer Gutiérrez

And I just want to plug, Council Member Riley said he would love to do a site visit, if allowed, to one of these 2K sites.

Erica Phillips

Absolutely.

Erica Phillips

Absolutely.

Erica Phillips

We'd invite anybody on a site visit.

Erica Phillips

So yes, we are in regular communication with our 2K providers.

Erica Phillips

They have received in the two weeks since the school has started, they've received visits from our team.

Erica Phillips

We've had our social workers and our instructional coordinators or inclusion specialists at every one of our 2K sites to check on them and see how they're doing, what else they need.

Erica Phillips

I have been to many, not many, but I've been to several 2K sites since I've joined, and they are excited to be able to welcome families in this way.

Erica Phillips

It's really a game changer for 2K.

Erica Phillips

families.

Erica Phillips

And, you know, there's feedback and ways that we can partner with them in a better way.

Erica Phillips

And so we're collecting all of that feedback and we'll continue to do that.

Jennifer Gutiérrez

Thank you.
