“On 7/13/26, a complaint was received regarding staff member EV. As part of this complaint documentation, a text message was included in the complaint as information shared. This text reportedly was sent by staff, EV to the area manager. In this text, staff, EV acknowledges that she went to sleep while she was riding on a bus as they were returning from a field trip with students. This trip took place on 6/30/26. On July 14, 2026, the Licensing Specaist made an unannounced visit to this site to conduct the complaint inspection. Staff were interviewed who rode on the bus for this field trip. There was one staff who stated she was sitting behind staff, EV and she stated that EV was sleeping on the bus as they were returning from the field trip. This staff stated she tried to wake up EV by calling her name, but she did not wake up. Therefore, this staff requested that the student who was sitting in the seat with staff, EV, move to another seat. This staff stated she did not want a child sitting in the seat with staff, EV because she was sleeping. As discussed, at no time should a staff member be sleeping while caring for children.”
