Roque Gerald confirmation testimony

On May 13, Roque Gerald made his case to the Committee on Human Services (Ward 6 CM Tommy Wells, chair) for his appointment by Mayor Fenty to lead the DC Child and Family Services Agency (CFSA).

As pointed out in the recent oversight and budget hearings, and in advocacy materials by DC Action for Children, for example, CFSA faces a number of challenges today and into the future.   Read Dr. Gerald's testimony and other docs available on this blog to learn more about both what Roque plans to do and what improvements need to be made.
