Dear Angela Damaris Carlson: On July 3, 2023, the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS), Division of Licensing, received your request for reconsideration of citation 2 in the Correction Order issued to you by the Department of Human Services on June 15, 2023. You did not request reconsideration of the remaining citations, and you were notified that the remaining citations were therefore affirmed. Citation 2 was issued because it was determined that required in-service training had not been completed for two staff persons for the previous calendar year. Specifically, in-service training did not include the required number of in-service training hours for the previous calendar year. Under Minnesota Statutes, section 245A.40, subdivision 7, a license holder must ensure that the center director, staff person, substitutes and unsupervised volunteers complete in-service training each calendar year in the areas specified in the statute and for the number of hours specified in the statute. On March 22, 2024, you were notified that citation 2 had been affirmed. On March 27, 2024, additional information was received by the DHS Licensing Legal Unit regarding an August 10, 2023, updated interpretation of training requirements. After a review of the additional information, the Commissioner has determined it is appropriate to rescind the citation. Disposition: The Commissioner finds it is appropriate to rescind the citation. This is a final agency decision. The Commissioner appreciates your response and encourages you to continue to work cooperatively with your licensor to ensure the safety and well-being of the children you serve. Sincerely,
Frances Simon Standing, Attorney Legal Counsel’s Office Office of Inspector General
