All confidential interviews revealed children and staff remained outside on the playground for an hour to an hour and a half, however they would still enter the CCC to use the restroom. Furthermore, 5 of the 6 staff interviewed that were present at the CCC on 11/25/24, confirmed there were several items (books, toys, walls of the CCC) that were left wet from the chemicals sprayed and staff either had to wipe it down or remove the items from the classroom to allow them to dry. On 12/03/2024, LPA received a confirmation from A2 that the chemical sprayed in the CCC was Alpine WSG Water Soluble Granule Insecticide. A2 provided LPA with a copy of the Safety Data Sheet and Alpine WSG label.
