Interviews were conducted and observations were made. At the time of this investigation, the preponderance of evidence supports the allegation and the complaint is deemed valid. Violations were cited and can be found on the Violation Notice. Should you have any questions, please email me at shahana.green@doe.virginia.gov with any questions or clarifications needed.
