What the inspector wrote

It is indicated that R1 had sustained an injury from an unwitnessed fall at approximately 1:50pm and appropriate emergency medical attention was not contacted until 3:24pm. Based on LPAs interviews and record review R1 had a large amount of blood soaking through applied several gauze pads and nurse and Officer informed either verbally or in report that R1s skull was visible due to injury. In addition, Administrator’s statements to Marin Central Police Authority and LPA Hansen confirm Administrator did not choose to seek emergency medical attention from R1’s initial injury resulting in an approximate two hour time gap between initial injury and arrival of Emergency Medical System (EMS). R1 was transported to the ER and received medical attention and five stiches to laceration.
