At 3:10pm S5 arrived in a school van from picking up school-age children. At 3:30pm Director Julie Jensen arrived from picking up school age children and came to speak with LPAs. LPAs explained the purpose of the visit to the Director and the Director stated LPAs needed to speak to P1 and P2 because the issue was above her. Director stated that it is their religious belief not to wear mask and that all the parents of both programs were in agreement with their decision. Director also stated she was authorized from P1 and P2 not to receive any documents from licensing and would not be signing the report, receiving the report, or having an exit interview conducted. At 3:40pm, LPAs counted 30 school age children total and 5 staff members. Appeal rights left at the center at the office door.
