25 | On November 30, 2022, at 9:15 a.m., Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Denise Gibbs conducted an unannounced case management inspection and met with Principal Yvonne Vasquez. LPA disclosed the purpose of the inspection and was granted entry into the facility by Principal.
There were 13 children and three staff present during the inspection.
The purpose of today's inspection was to discuss the water lead test results. Results show that two water sources have action level exceedance (ALE) of lead. The drinking fountain located outdoors and a drinking fountain/hand washing faucet indoors had a lead exceedance of 81.6 and 9.3.
At 9:30 a.m. LPA observed and took pictures of the water sources with ALE. Water sources were observed to be inaccessible to children. The water to the drinking fountains indoors and outdoors have been turned off. A bag has been placed over the hand washing faucet. Per Staff, families are asked to bring water bottles from home. LPA observed children's water bottles. LPA did not observe any other source of water readily available for children to fill empty water bottles or a way to provide children with water if they forget to bring a water bottle. LAUSD Lead exceedance team has begun to correct the ALE and is in the process of installing filters to the affected water sourced. LAUSD facility maintenance has not given a date to begin work. A deficiency was cited to ensure that the water sources with the exceedance will not be used as a drinking source or food preparation source for the children. A deficiency will also be cited to ensure non-contaminated water is made readily available both indoors and outdoors.
Per Principal, all meals are prepackaged and delivered daily by Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). Food is not cook or prepared at the facility.
The deficiency listed on the following page was observed by the LPA and is being cited in accordance with ----------------------PAGE 1 |
