Regulation: 3270.54(b)

Description: Two facility persons on excursions

Noncompliance Area: According to statements from the operator, at times a child in care will be walked from the facility to another facility operated by the same legal entity accompanied by only one facility person.

Correction Required: At least two facility persons shall be present when children are on an excursion away from the facility. At a minimum, one of the facility persons shall be a staff person.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
There may be some miscommunication with this violation and more clarification was needed in the question posed and of the answer given. Hence, the question was: Are there any times when children from the other facility are down at the church facility? The answer was: Yes. The inspector asked, when? The operator offered all possible scenarios: 1) For special all group assemblies to include speakers, performances (in the Hall or Sanctuary), 2) Programs attended by parents to include celebrations, parent engagement meetings, 3) If a child's academic level would benefit from the challenges of a higher grade level, we notify the parents and get their permission to move the child from their grade-level group to the church. That child is then considered enrolled at the church and not the other location. We currently have two students who have benefited from this change. They were pointed out to the inspector. 4) In a rare occurrence, if a child has a need for more one-on-one tutoring to gain math concepts, we will bring the child to the other facility to meet with specialists. This happened once (September 2024). In this case and recent prior years, every child in need of this service has been driven to the facility for the sake of time. In this dialogue, the operator recalled once a few years ago (summer 2020), a child was frustrated to the point of tears and needed air to calm down and was walked by an Education Director to the church. The inspector then asked how many staff persons walked with the child, and the operator answered one. The inspector then spoke on how the latter would be considered an excursion. For the record, in practice, we have always understood that at least two facility persons shall be present when children are on an excursion away from the facility; and at a minimum one of the facility persons shall be a staff person.
