There were no children and two staff present during the inspection. Classroom was in transition from AM to PM program.

The purpose of today's inspection was to discuss the water lead test results. Results show that one water source has action level exceedance (ALE) of lead. The drinking fountain located inside the classroom has a lead exceedance of 7.8 Points Per Billion (ppb).

At 10:15 a.m. LPA observed and tested of the water source with ALE. Water source were observed to be inaccessible to children. The drinking fountains indoors has a bag placed over it. Per Staff, families are asked to bring water bottles from home for the children, staff purchase water bottles or parents donate them. LPA observed water bottles stored in the cabinet. LPA discussed with Principal that water should be provided by the facility both indoors and outdoors. LAUSD Lead exceedance team has begun to correct the ALE and is in the process of installing filters to the affected water sourced. LAUSD facility maintenance has not given a date to begin work. A deficiency was cited to ensure that the water sources with the exceedance will not be used as a drinking source or food preparation source for the children.

All meals are prepackaged and delivered daily by Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). Food is not cook or prepared at the facility.
