Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Nelson Zuniga and Diana Brasel conducted an investigation at the facility on the above allegations. It was alleged that unfingerprinted adults are working at facility and the director is not at the facility for a sufficient amount of time. Upon arrival, LPA met with Teacher Mayra Centeno and soon after the administrator arrived, Margie Sanchez. The purpose of the visit was discussed. LPA toured the facility took census and observed program activities. Records were reviewed, interviews were conducted of staffs.

All staffs files were reviewed to ensure that all staff have an active finger print clearance and that the finger print clearance is associated to this facility and or the administrative file for the licensee. Staff #1 has a active finger print clearance and is associated to one of the other facilities that the licensee owns, but not associated to this facility and or administrative file. LPA Zuniga consulted with Supervisor, per supervisor there is not an imminent threat that the person is present without an active finger print clearance, because the person has a clearance. However, the person is not associated to the correct facility, therefore, this is a Type B violation.

Per Administrator, the previous director, Alejandra Barragan last day of employment was 12/20/2019 and the center failed to inform/report that there was no director for the center to the licensing agency. Regulations required that the licensing agency be informed within 10 days of the last day of employment of a director. The preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegations are found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D.
Exit interview conducted with director. Report and appeal rights discussed and given. Acknowledgement of receipt given.
