    GOVERNMENT OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA Public Roundtable on “THE DISTRICT’S COVID-19 VACCINATION PROCESS” Testimony of Wayne Turnage Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services and Director, Department of Health Care Finance Before the Committee on Health Council of the District of Columbia Before Councilmember Vincent C. Gray Monday, February 1, 2021 WebEx Virtual Platform The John A. Wilson Building 1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20004 Introduction Good morning, Councilmember Gray, and members of the Committee on Health. I am Wayne Turnage, Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services and the Director of the Department of Health Care Finance (DHCF). I am joined today by Jay Melder, Assistant City Administrator in charge of government operations, and Patrick Ashley, Senior Deputy Director at the Department of Health (DC Health), who spearheads the agency’s health emergency preparedness and response efforts. Clearly, we are in the midst of a significant battle to control the pernicious spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19). Despite the national launch of the two vaccines approved by the Federal Drug Administration for emergency use in the United States, the nation is averaging nearly 200,000 new infections per day. Due to these infections, January was the deadliest month for COVID–19 since the beginning of the pandemic, with nearly 100,000 people dying from the disease. In the District, we know that roughly five percent of the population has been identified as infected since the first reported infection in March 2020. These infections have caused nearly 900 deaths. Moreover, if we could account for persons with unreported infections over the span of the pandemic, the number of cumulative cases in the city may well be above 100,000.

Orange, Sr. Councilmember Sharon Ambrose Councilmember Kevin P. Chavous Councilmember Sandy (Sandra) Allen Mayor Anthony A. Williams Peggy Cooper Cafritz, President, District of Columbia Board of Education C. Vannessa Spinner, District of Columbia State Education Office Dear Councilmembers, Mayor Williams, President Cafritz and State Education Officer Spinner, The Washington Post recently reported that the next superintendent of schools might be given authority to manage both the District of Columbia Public Schools (“DCPS”) and the State Education Office (“SEO”). While we are pleased that the Mayor has decided to withdraw his takeover proposal and support extension of the current hybrid board, our research suggests that consolidating authority over DCPS and the SEO will only worsen the conflicts of interest inherent in DCPS’ overseeing both itself and the District’s public charter schools. The SEO was intended to administer state- level educational functions impartially. We urge you to keep the SEO’s intended purpose in mind as you consider whether to vest responsibility for local and state educational duties in one person. We also reiterate our hope that the Council _______________________ 1 Valerie Strauss, Education Office Chief Resigning, Washington Post B1 (June 10, 2004). 2 As you know, our interest in school governance issues is longstanding. In a 1999 report, we considered the appropriate functions of local school boards, differing ways of selecting board members, and rationalization of responsibility for state-level educational functions then performed by DCPS in its role as a state education agency.
