ON THIS ANALYST LAST VISIT, LPA MET WITH THE CENTER DIRECTOR AND THE CENTER'S DISTRICT MANAGER TO REVIEW THE CLASSROOM'S VIDEO FOOTAGE ON THE DAY OF THE ALLEGED INCIDENT. LPA WAS ABLE TO REVIEW FOOTAGE FROM 6/14/23 BUT NOT THE FOOTAGE FROM 6/6/23 WHICH IS THE DATE WHICH THE INICIDENT ALLEGEDLY HAPPENED.
