How to read this record
A compliance visit is a licensing visit by an OCCL specialist. When the specialist finds a regulation has not been met, the visit record carries a citation: the regulation's code and short description, the specialist's corrective-action note describing what was found, and the correction record — the date correction was due, whether the state has marked it completed, the date it was corrected, and how. A complaint investigation begins with a complaint; its record carries the state's result and the investigator's written conclusion. Delaware does not grade citations by risk or severity, so no grade is shown — the specialist's note is the substance of the record. One visit can produce several citations. A citation the state later records as corrected stays in the history; that is what a licensing record is.

A complaint investigation. The state's result is shown above, and the investigator's conclusion follows.
A complaint was received on May 12, 2022, and accepted for investigation by OCCL on May 13, 2022. An investigation took place on May 13, 2022, when Ms. Catka contacted the extended care manager and was given the incident reports regarding Child #1 s behavior. There is no evidence to substantiate the complaint because staff saw the inappropriate behavior quickly, used appropriate behavior management techniques, wrote the incident reports, and informed the parent in a timely manner. An incident on the school bus and other incidents alleged in the complaint may have taken place during the day school hours. The full-day school program is not licensed and is not subject to investigation by OCCL.
