There were rubber wood chips that were placed around the play structure, however LPAs observed there was not enough cushioning under the falling hazard zones to sustain a fall. Ms. White stated that she will purchase refillable water jugs for children to use and have readily accessible inside and outside the classroom.

A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day for a maximum of 5-days or, if the penalty is for a repeat violation, for a maximum of 30-days per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
