As LS was doing the walk through of the building LS saw (pictures taken) of a cleaning bottle in 2 of the bathrooms. One in the child's bathroom and one in the teacher's bathroom. The chemical in the teacher's bathroom would be okay if the bathroom was locked but it was open and on a shelf that school agers could reach if they went into that bathroom. This was resolved when chemicals were removed from each bathroom and put up and away from children. Technical Assistance given from handbook: 3.2 Toxic/Hazardous Material/Firearms/Weapons A.
