There were several areas of chipped and peeling paint in window seals and on walls accessible to children in multiple classrooms.
Plan of Correction: The school has procured wall coverings to address the larger areas, and this will be added to our internal maintenance schedule. We will ensure that any areas exhibiting paint chipping are either properly covered or sanded and repainted. The Director of School Operations will oversee this process.
Standard 8VAC20-780-510-P
When an authorization for medication expires, the facility shall notify parents that the medication must be picked up within 14 days of the authorization expiring or that a new authorization should be completed.

Plan of Correction: The medication associated with this form has not been administered and will not be administered until the updated form is received by the school and reviewed by the nurse. We will conduct audits of the forms as part of our monthly quality assurance process to ensure continued compliance. This will be managed by the school nurse in collaboration with the directors.
