She stated that the substitute staff was removed from the classroom. She stated that the children were not affected by the disagreement. They were playing on the playground. They both stated that they were not aware of children being left in soiled diapers by a lead teacher. After, I interviewed additional staff members, Ms. Patel and Ms. Harrison shared that the substitute staff was removed from working with younger children due to not wanting to change diapers along with other duties. Ms. Patel and Ms. Harrison were not aware of any issues with the toilet being soiled and not cleaned. I interviewed 3 additional staff members. A teacher shared that she came in late and was checking diapering times and schedules. She stated that she helped the support staff that was covering for her along with her assistant teacher to transition the children on the playground. She stated that an incident between two children had just occurred on the playground. She stated that a child needed to go inside and use the bathroom and the support staff at first refused to take the child to the bathroom. She stated the support staff eventually took the child to the bathroom and it that timeframe another child was soiled as well.

She stated that on the Friday before the verbal dispute she arrived in her classroom and the support staff told her that 1 child has poop, it smells like another child has poop and another child was soiled. She stated that the support staff would never change diapers. She stated that she had shared this concern with administrators and they shared to her that they would talk with the staff about her job duties. Another teacher stated that about 2 or 3 weeks ago, when she arrived for the day the support staff left a child in a soiled diaper waiting for her to report to work to change the child’s diaper. She stated the day of the dispute again the support staff did not want to change diapers.
