Council Member Rita Joseph inquires about the staffing levels for community schools, and Flavia Puello-Perdomo explains the recent efforts to expand the infrastructure to support the growing number of community schools.
- The DOE is in the process of bringing on 10 additional staff members to support the community schools initiative
- There has been a significant expansion of community schools, with 108 added in 2022-2023, and steady growth in previous years
- The expansion had been managed with the same infrastructure until recent efforts to address staffing gaps

And just to give you a sense of that, in twenty twenty two, twenty twenty three we added 108 community schools, 2021, '20 '20 '2 '50 '1, '20 '18, '20 '19, '20 '6.
