LPA M. McDaniels conducted a tour of the facility on January 19, 2021 and verified the temperature of all of the classrooms by conducting a walk through of the facility via Facetime with the administrator. The temperatures of all classrooms were observed and were all within the required range.
Parents interviewed did not disclose any concerns regarding temperature.

Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED

An exit interview was conducted with Teresa Martinez via Facetime. A copy of this report was reviewed and provided to the Administrator. Ms. Martinez agreed to receive a copy of report via email and voiced understanding that the read receipt confirmation from email will be in lieu of her signature once she received the report.
