City Officials Meet With CFSA Senior Staff

Acting Attorney General Peter J. Nickles and the City Adminstrator Dan Tangherlini met with senior staff of the Department of Children and Family Services today, including the new interim director Roque Gerald, Nickles said. They met to discuss caseloads and other issues raised by the court monitor as the city tries to repair the troubled agency.

In addition to trying to temporarily move social workers from other city agencies, he said, officials are considering getting case workers to manage small teams of temp workers that he compared to paralegals.

They're also reviewing all the case workers in CFSA to make sure they're good and committed, he said.

A search for a permanent director would begin immediately, Nickles noted.
