| 2024-02-23 | Violation | 209 | GS 110-91(1)&(4-5) |
| Children used space that was not approved. On 2/13/24 Ms. Nicole Bruce, Sr. Environmental Specialist, conducted a visit to monitor unapproved spaces for approval. Her report indicated that classroom B-3 was approved. Classroom B-4 was unapproved for use due to not having hot water tempered to 80 – 110F at the food prep hand sink. It was reported that the hot water was turned off because it was too hot for use. Ms. Webster-Suter indicated in the correction letter that the ticket was sent to Charlotte-Mecklenburg School (CMS) maintenance for repair. Today, Ms. Webster-Suter stated she turned on the hot water valve underneath the sink and the water was running warm. I checked the water at the hand wash sink in B-4 and confirmed warm water was accessible. It was undetermined if the hot water was tempered between 80F – 110F. The hand wash sink in the classroom should not be used until EH approves the sink. Classroom B-4 remains unapproved. Children were observed in the classroom today. Repeat violation. | |||
