    • CHCCS Team Translates Thousands of Communications

      Since March, when schools closed to in-person learning, the flow of CHCCS communications to parents, students and staff has increased significantly in both volume and frequency. The urgency of messages has also increased at times. This is hardly news to anyone who is connected to CHCCS through enrollment or employment, but it is probably news to learn the number of translation and interpretation requests filed each day, week and month: an average of 45 per day, with the highest monthly total at nearly 1,000 last October.
