32 | Pertinent parties stated staff verbally redirect, and shadow (one on one supervision) the subject child, but shadowing is not always possible or consistent. Pertinent parties stated no formal resources have been provided for the child, and the development of a behavior plan was being considered at the end of August however is not completed. Pertinent parties stated no plan of action for behavior interventions or training resources have been implemented or provided.
Pertinent parties stated they were scared and did not want to come to school due to the subject child’s behavior and confirmed incidents of the subject child’s aggressive behavior.
During the visit on 08/27/24, at approximately 9:11AM, LPA observed the subject child running and grabbing items from other children during a table activity, attempt to hit another child four times, and walk/run away from staff’s redirection/guidance.
LPA reviewed the facility’s admission agreement in conjunction with parent handbook and incident reports (please notes). Handbook sections 32-36 identified steps for addressing behaviors (development of strategies; teaching replacement behaviors); notification to parent; incident reports, and development of behavior plans/strategies to address behavior and support in the classroom. For persistent or continued aggressive behavior, handbook identified the steps above in addition to having a strategy meeting and developing a behavior plan with weekly monitoring/review by teacher and office staff - management. LPA reviewed eighteen incidents reports from July to August 2024, confirming aggressive actions from the subject child to other individuals. As of the initial visit date from records reviewed neither a strategy meeting nor formal behavior plan has been completed.
Based on interviews conducted and documentation reviewed, the Department has determined the preponderance of evidence standard has been met; therefore, the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED, per California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12.
