Plan to Correct

I have directed staff to ensure that they and I make the best attempt to avoid having our backs physically turned any from a child or group of children. Though nearly impossible to achieve, staff assured me that they will take all action to try to comply with this directive.

Regulation Description

340:110-3-287(a) - Supervision. Supervision is the function of observing, overseeing, and guiding a child or group of children, including an awareness of, and responsibility for, the ongoing activity of each child, and being near enough to intervene when needed. The program is required to maintain supervision at all times.

Plan to Correct

I have directed staff to ensure that they make every attempt to have auxiliary staff, such as the assistant director, the director, etc., to relieve them when a need arises and they need step outside their classroom. For example, that is the same action I took when you took a fulltime teacher out of her classroom for over an hour to interview them on March 8, 2024. I had an auxiliary staff member step into their position during your interview

Regulation Description
