3270.24(a) Immediate access
“On 3/20/2026 at approximately 9:05am, Certification Representative (CR) and CR Supervisor arrived at the facility for the annual renewal inspection. A staff person was entering the building at the time, and CR and CR Supervisor entered with them. When we arrived at the top of the steps, we asked the staff person to let the Director know that we were present. After a few moments, the Director had not come into the hallway. The doors were locked on the hallway side, and entry could not be made. CR knocked on the first door behind which we could hear children. No staff answered the door. CR and CR Supervisor knocked several more times over the course of the next 3-4 minutes, identifying ourselves by name and as OCDEL staff and asking that the door be opened. From inside Room 3, CR and CR Supervisor could clearly hear an adult's voice saying, "Do not let them in that door." At this point, CR walked down the hallway to Room 4's door, where children could also be heard. CR continued knocking on that door, identifying herself, as CR Supervisor knocked on the door to Room 3. Throughout this time, the voices of adults and children could be heard through the doors, and it was clear that staff were aware of our presence. After approximately 8 minutes total, the door to Room 3 was opened, and CR and CR Supervisor were granted access to the facility.”
