An interview conducted on 8/2/2023 with Staff #1(S1) between 12:38pm and 12:46am denied the allegation and stated that on Friday, July 28, 2023, at approximately 10:00am she received a telephone call from Parent #1 (P1) stating she was provided with a physician's note clearing C1 of HFM. S1 said she informed P1 that C1 could return to school along with a copy of the physician’s note. S1 said after P1 did not return C1 to school she assumed P1 decided to keep C1 at home for the remainder of the day.

Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred, and the findings are unsubstantiated.

An exit interview was conducted, appeal rights were provided, and a Notice of Site Visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
