On 10/14/2022, the department received an Unusual Incident Report (UIR) regarding an incident on 10/14/2022, 7:10am, in which C1 bumped their head. LPA met with Assistant Director Wilma Cabrera. LPA and Ms. Cabrera discussed the details and timeline of the incident. Ms. Cabrera explained that C1 ran to her while wearing non-grip socks, attempted to hug her from behind but fell back, causing C1 to bump their head on the non-carpeted floor. Upon picking up C1, Ms. Cabrera immediately noticed that C1 was not well. Ms. Cabrera instructed S1 to call 911 and S2 to call C1's parents. Per Ms. Cabrera, the paramedics arrived within 5 minutes and the parents arrived within 8 minutes. Paramedics waited for parents to arrive, observing C1 in the meantime. Paramedics gave parents the option to transport C1 to the hospital, but parents elected for ambulance transport. Ms. Cabrera stated that a doctor at the hospital spoke with her to obtain incident details. Doctor cleared C1 to be released same day but parents elected for continued hospital observation. C1 returned to school on 10/17/2022 without restrictions or medical report. C1 has been consistently attending school without any observed concerns. LPA observed area in which incident occurred as well as C1 playing in classroom. Ms. Cabrera said that it has been discussed with parents that C1 is unstable when walking/running. LPA observed this when Ms. Cabrera called C1 to her. Ms. Cabrera also mentioned that parents have been asked to provide socks with grip on the sole. LPA determined that the incident was not due to lack of supervision and that immediate medical attention was provided to C1. There are no deficiencies at this time. An exit interview was conducted, and this report was reviewed with Assistant Director Wilma Cabrera. Appeal rights were discussed and provided during the exit interview. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
