There were no statements made to corroborate with the above allegation. During Interviews with staff, it was said that they are in the class room so they never see if a child temperature is being taken or not, because office staff greet the children at the front door where temperature is to be taken and documented before being taken to the class room. Director provided LPA with some copies of temperature logs of children. Other interviews stated that the children don't always or never have there temperature taken. It is also not know if the temperature log is filled out after the child is taken to the class room because it was observed that the child was just walked to the class room and nothing documented or temperature was taken.

An exit interview was conducted with Alexis Godinez. Appeal rights were explained and provided. The Notice of Site Visit was issued and must be posted for 30 days failure to do so will result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
