The updated plan has been implemented, communicated with parents, and maintained on-site. The following Continuity of Operations amendment was added: 6A. CONTINUITY OF OPERATIONS Purpose: To ensure the continued protection of children, preservation of essential records, and timely restoration of program operations following an emergency or disaster. Following an emergency, the Director or designated person in charge will assess the safety of the facility in collaboration with emergency personnel, when applicable, before authorizing the resumption of services. Essential operational records, including child files, emergency contact information, attendance records, staff records, and enrollment documentation, are maintained electronically through SmartStart STEM Academy's secure organizational cloud drive and Procare system. Authorized administrative staff have secure remote access to these records to ensure continuity of operations if the facility is inaccessible. The Director or designee will maintain communication with families, staff, licensing representatives, and emergency officials regarding temporary closures, relocation, modified operations, anticipated reopening, and any additional instructions necessary to ensure the health and safety of children. If the facility cannot safely operate, SmartStart STEM Academy will implement modified operations or temporary closure until the building has been deemed safe for occupancy and all applicable licensing, health, and safety requirements have been satisfied. During an extended disruption, administrative functions---including enrollment, child records, family communication, staffing coordination, and regulatory documentation---will continue remotely to minimize interruption of essential program operations. Prior to reopening, the Director or designee will verify that the facility is safe, essential utilities are operational, required supplies are available, staffing levels are sufficient, and all applicable health and licensing requirements have been met. Following any emergency requiring activation of this plan, program leadership will conduct a post-incident review to evaluate the effectiveness of the response, identify opportunities for improvement, and update the Emergency Preparedness, Response, and Continuity of Operations Plan as needed. |
