The LPA interviewed 1 out of 1 staff (S1) who indicated that the parent had asked that the child attend a 5 day a week plan and so the staff accommodated the request. The LPA interviewed 1 out of 1 witness who indicated that C1 was only 3 YOA but was placed in a class for 4-5 YOA without her consent which is against the admission agreement policies. The LPA reviewed documents and observed that C1 was not 4 YOA on or before Sept 1, 2018 which per the signed admission agreement is the age to be enrolled in the Pre-kindergarten class. However, the LPA did observed that the child did turn 4 YOA later the same month. The LPA also observed that no written admission agreement addendums were reviewed and/or signed by the school and C1's responsible party waiving the classroom age requirements. Based on the evidence obtained, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be substantiated.
