The faucet has a sign posted on the mirror saying "Do not use", currently water source is turned on. LPA interviewed 1 teacher and 3 children and it was disclosed that they only wash their hands in the bathroom because that sink is dirty. LPA Messerschmidt was informed that the faucet has not been used by anyone and placed out of service until fixed. LPA requested that Assistant Director cover faucet as well as having the sign posted, making water inaccessible to children.
