CPS Staffing on Romaine Agenda
Romaine, whose grandson shared a classroom with the East Moriches youngster, promised to backfill vacancies in the department to relieve a heavy workload, a chief complaint of CPS staff.

"We will do everything in our power to make sure we don't have another tragedy like we suffered with Thomas Valva."
