Per interview with Director, the Administrator will talk to the applicants over the phone then the applicant will come in for an interview. Transcripts and course descriptions are reviewed and applicant interactions are reviewed prior to hire. LPA reviewed 9 staff files. Out of 9 staff LPA was only able to qualify 5. There are 4 full qualified teachers with 12 units or more, 1 qualified teacher with 6 units, 1 teacher LPA was only able to verify 1 qualified course, 1 teacher LPA was unable to qualify their education based off of the course titles listed on their transcripts, only 1 of 2 toddler teachers have infant/toddler units, and 2 teachers are missing transcripts LPA unable to verify their qualifications.
