Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Jeanette Estrada and Keneisha Dunlap conducted an unannounced case management inspection at the facility. The purpose of this inspection is to issue a type A deficiency for a violation of criminal record clearance. LPAs met with Gisele Ochoa-Education Specialist and explained the reason for the visit. There were 15 children with 4 staff in bungalow 14 and 23 children with 3 staff in classroom T-11. Today, LPAs initially conducted a case management visit at this facility for the purpose of investigating an unusual report that was submitted to the Department on 11/1/24 (see LIC 809 Case Management-Incident). During the review of criminal record clearances for staff in bungalow 14, there was no clearance available for Staff 1. LPAs were advised Staff 1 is a substitute from Swing Education and has been present for 1 day. LPAs reviewed Guardian which revealed no results for Staff 1. LPAs advised Facility Representative that Staff 1 cannot be present without a criminal record clearance. At approximately 1PM, Staff 1 was removed from the classroom. Facility Representative attempted to contact the substitute agency to obtain the required documentation for Staff 1 to prove they have a clearance through the Department (LIC 9163 Request for Livescan Service) but was unsuccessful as agency could not provide proof.
