Compliance Date

 		Bright Start Academy disagrees with the state's decision to include staff eligibility letters as a "violation" on our renewal report. At the time of our License Renewal on June 6, 2019, we were still waiting for the state to send back some eligibility letters that we sent in by the January 31, 2019 deadline. This is completely out our control, so we do not believe it should be listed as a "violation:
