This facility has three classrooms, each with their own lead teacher and staff. The three classrooms operate independently from one another and follow a morning and afternoon schedule for instructional sessions. Outdoor activity space is shared among the three classrooms, however; children are not commingled from other classrooms during outdoor activity.

According to EAA, on 09/21/2022 the facility was informed of the first confirmed case of HFM, isolated to classroom 1. On 09/23/2022 the facility received confirmation of two additional cases of HFM, isolated to classroom 3. A third case of HFM isolated to classroom 3 was recorded on 09/26/2022. EAA stated that after the second case was reported for classroom 3 on 09/23/2022, the School District’s Health Services Department generated a letter of notice to be distributed to parent/guardians of children attending classroom 3. According to EAA, letters of notice were distributed on 09/26/2022 for classroom 3 only. EAA stated the letters were only circulated for classroom 3 because that was the only classroom with more than one reported case of HFM.

As part of this investigation, LPA collected/reviewed documents and conducted interviews with teaching staff for each of the Facility’s three classrooms. LPA was given a copy of the HFM notification circulated for classroom 3. LPA observed the document was dated 09/26/2022 for “School: Preston 3.” Interviews with teaching staff for each classroom corroborate all facility staff were made aware of the confirmed cases of HFM, however; only the parent/guardians of children attending classroom 3 were given the notification document. LPA was informed by the Lead Teacher of Classroom 3 the document was distributed on 09/26/2022 to parent/guardians of both the AM and the PM session for classroom 3 only. Staff stated that if a child was not in attendance for that day, a copy of the notice would be added to the child’s designated page of sign-in/sign-out book or placed in the child’s cubby with their personal belongings.

Based on LPAs observations, interviews conducted and records reviewed, the facility had knowledge of multiple confirmed HFM cases and only notified the parent/guardians of children attending classroom 3; due to most confirmed cases being isolated to that classroom. Although the facility took precautions to inform individuals associated with classroom 3, the facility did not inform the parent/guardians of classrooms 1 or 2 of the potential outbreak of HFM at the facility. Additionally, Licensing was made aware of confirmed cases of HFM at time of initial visit of this complaint investigation on 10/10/2022. The facility failed to adhere to their reporting requirements and did not inform the Licensing office of more than two confirmed cases of a communicable illness within a 7-day time period.
