TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED TODAY ON THE FOLLOWING TOPICS: CRIMINAL RECORD CHECK: The teacher’s aide, who was working during the summer, began working at this center in 2021 at the age of 15. Currently the staff person is 17. I explained that upon turning age 16, the staff person needed to have completed the Criminal Record Check process. The owner/director stated she thought CRC qualification was due at age 18. The owner/director stated that the summer staff person would be leaving this week to return to high school. I stated that the owner/director should have the afternoon teacher work with the lead teacher in classroom space #3 for the remainder of the week, because the summer staff person did not have Criminal Record Check clearance. EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE PLAN: Remember to update the information on the posted Emergency Medical Care Plan to replace the names of staff that are no longer employed at the center. Please review the changed information with the current staff. JOB DESCRIPTIONS: The seventeen-year-old floater, who was employed for the summer months, had signed a lead teacher job description. The signed job descriptions should always match the staff’s position at the center. ACTIVITY PLANS: Please make sure all activity plans are dated.
