Inspector Notes

A unannounced inspection was conducted on April 18 2024 between 10:00am and 11:00am to investigate a self reported incident. Interviews were conducted and an inspection of the classroom and surrounding spaces was inspected. It was determined that a child was left unattended for approximately 3 minutes when the supervising teacher took the class outside. It was determined that one child was left inside unattended, and was located when another teacher was walking through the area. The child was out of sight supervision, but it was determined that if the child became distressed the child would have been heard by teachers in the surrounding spaces. If you have any questions regarding this inspection please contact me at 703-554-4995 or at derek.acosta@doe.virginia.gov
