The Clean Classrooms for Carolina Kids program is designed to identify and eliminate exposure to lead and asbestos hazards in building infrastructure, while providing child care facilities with the support needed to meet all rule requirements. The program is free, and the first step is to watch one of the pre-enrollment webinars, which are available at www.cleanwaterforUSkids.org/carolina. Additional information can be found in the Raise North Carolina Newsletter sent via email on 12/7/23 from DCDEE. As of today, the website indicates that you have not completed the water, lead-based paint, nor the asbestos sections of the testing. Please get these completed as soon as possible, the deadline is 11/1/24. Exit Conference: At the completion of the visit, there were printer issues and I was unable to print the visit summary.
