Board reviews classroom near miss, two staff accidents and worker’s compensation claim
Summary
The board was briefed on a classroom near miss in which a child was temporarily left during a room transition, two staff injuries (a wasp sting resulting in medical care and a bite), and subsequent safety follow-ups including camera review and corrective headcount procedures.
At its April 29 meeting, the Children's Developmental Services of Campbell County Board of Directors reviewed recent safety incidents and staff injuries. Executive Director Nathan Grotrian told the board a near miss occurred during a classroom transition when a child was left behind in a room; staff identified the missing child after reviewing camera footage and performing a headcount when they returned. The incident prompted an internal review of transition procedures.
Grotrian also reported two staff accidents during the reporting period: one staff member was stung by a wasp and required medical attention, which produced a workers' compensation claim, and another staff member sustained a bite. The board discussed ongoing safety and supervision protocols and the need for continued staff training on transitions and headcount procedures.
The presentation was part of the board's routine monthly safety report and followed the board's agenda under Old Business. No formal disciplinary or policy changes were recorded in the minutes; the board received the update and continued with other agenda items.
