During the inspection on 12/7/2023 and 12/12/2023, LPA conducted interviews and made observations of the area. LPA did not observe any blind spots of the classroom and where the nearby teacher was located. There was no lack of supervision found.

Therefore, although the alleged violations may have happened or are valid, the preponderance of evidence standard has not been met to fully prove or disprove that they did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated. There is no deficiency issued today. An exit interview was conducted and notice of site visit and appeal rights were provided to facility representative Rebecca Foster.
