During a scheduled tornado drill, a 2-year-old child was left unattended in a classroom bathroom while the rest of the classroom group exited the room. Video review confirmed the child remained in the bathroom and was not within the sight or sound of staff during the drill. The child was later located and reunited with the classroom. This resulted in the child being left unattended in the classroom, constituting a lack of required supervision. — Visit: Safety Plan Served — Action taken: Educators involved in this incident are currently on admin leave pending further review.
