Patrick Shaughnessy, public information officers at the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation’s headquarters, said Tuesday afternoon that TDLR is sending out more staff to Lancaster High to determine just what was measured, how it was measured and more, to get to the bottom of whether or not the class was indeed out of compliance at the time of the Dec. 6 investigation.
Note 1: Relevant to the bold-faced point above, I told him that Superintendent Larry Lewis told me, in the third or fourth phone call we had Monday about the classroom, that the district was in the process of converting a storage area not being used by the cosmetology class at the time of the inspection into a cosmetology locker area.
That’s fine and dandy if it helps the class pass a follow-up inspection. However, those changes were not in place at the time of the inspection. I also noted, in my e-mail to him, that the state statute is clear in not listing bathroom space as part of classroom space.
Note 2: I told Shaughnessy to encourage TDLR’s in the field personnel who do the follow-up visit to not accept initial answers if they weren’t comfortable with them.
