Lead safety check·January 11, 2023

On January 11, 2023, at 1:30 p.m., Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Denise Gibbs conducted an unannounced case management inspection and met with Principal Saraid Luna. LPA disclosed the purpose of the inspection and was granted entry into the facility by office staff. There were 12 children and six staff present during the inspection. The purpose of today's inspection was to discuss the water lead test results. Results show that two water sources have action level exceedance (ALE) of lead. The drinking fountains located inside classrooms B-1 and B-2 have a lead exceedance of 126 points per billion(ppb) and 78 ppb. At 1:40 p.m. LPA observed and tested the water sources with ALE. Drinking fountains were observed to be turned off and inaccessible to children. Per classroom staff, water is made readily available to children via water bottles provided by the facility. LPA observed water bottles in the classroom and extra water bottles in storage. Lead results are posted at the drop off/pick up gate where they are accessible to parents. LAUSD Lead exceedance team has begun to correct the ALE by shutting off the water, they have installed filters and new faucets. Water has been retested and results are pending. A deficiency was cited to ensure that the water faucets with the exceedance will not be used as a drinking source or food preparation source for the children. All meals are prepackaged and delivered daily by Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). Food is not cook or prepared at the facility. The deficiency listed on the following page was observed by the LPA and is being cited in accordance with California Code of Regulations Title 22. Please see attached LIC 809-D. The deficiency that is being cited needs to be cleared to protect the children\342\200\231s health & safety. -----------------PAGE 1 A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
