An unannounced investigation was conducted on 08/08/2018 in response to a complaint regarding special care provisions/ emergencies and physical plant. During the investigation, 8 staff members and 3 parents were interviewed and documentation was reviewed. The preponderance of evidence does not support the allegation; therefore, the complaint is deemed not valid. The exit interview was conducted with the director.
