Julie Giessler is aware that an incident occurred where a child was in classroom #4. The child was standing at the round table when a staff member noticed the child. Staff member alerted the teachers in classroom 5 who came to retrieve the child. Child was in classroom for a brief moment.
There were 5 children in attendance, and 3 teachers, in classroom 5. The classroom is a partnership classroom where some children are enrolled in both Head Start and the Alameda Unified School District, and there are staff that work for both programs who were present. On the date of incident there were two head start teachers (working for the center) were working with other children enrolled in the head start program and a school district staff member was working with the above child and another child that is enrolled with the school district. The child went thru the bathroom that adjoins classroom 4 and 5, into the empty classroom 4. The child did not go outside of the classroom/into the hallway.
The Director and Ms. Giessler immediately spoke with all head start staff and reminded them that all of the children are part of their program and their responsibility, even when the school district staff are present. Ms. Giessler also spoke with the school district staff, and her supervisor will be speaking with the supervisor for the school district staff and reminding them that they are all working together and need to provide active supervision at all times. Staff were also reminded to ensure that the bathroom doors remain closed.
