I suggested that you designate one staff member to monitor the arrival and departure records at designated times each day, especially at the end of the day once all children have departed, to ensure all children have been signed in and signed out. Leftover Medications- I suggested that you monitor all medications at least monthly to ensure the medication has not expired and the authorization from the parent is on file and has not expired. Any medication remaining after the course of treatment is completed, after authorization is withdrawn or after authorization has expired shall be returned to the child's parents. Any medication the parent fails to retrieve within 72 hours of completion of treatment, or withdrawal of authorization, shall be discarded. Emergency Drills- Shelter-in-place or lockdown drills must be practiced within every three months.
