She said the child (C1) initially had behaviors of hitting and yelling but she had never been aware of any injuries to other children. Adrianne Martin had been out on medical during this time but was in daily contact with staff. The LPA was provided with a timeline showing the following that was done to address the situation within the first month; Shasta County of Education staff observed and advised teacher with tools that were effective, additional staff was provided on some days, bridges to success service to observe and offer strategies, closing for a week when additional staff was not available. A modified schedule for the child C1). The LPAs did not observe any unsafe behavior or injuries during the inspections on 4/18/23 or 6/1/23 or todays date.

Interviews were conducted with 11 witnesses. 4 parents and 5 children all denied the allegations stating they felt their children were safe and there had been no injuries. 2 staff expressed that the transition was difficult and caused disruption and that they were provided additional support. None of the 11 witnesses interviewed reported in injuries therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated.

The facility provided a facility roster & list of staff & staff contacts and a chronology of the assistance, services, supervision and modified schedule provided for C1’s behaviors. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred, and the findings are unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted. The Notice of Site Visit must be posted for 30 days.
