The incident did not happen on my premises. He has been on the premises since the incident except for the 1-2 months they investigated. He has a clean record and continues to do so.
He does work but they are odd hours and he is home when he is not working.
I have the release letter from EEC and I have two recommendation letters from his counselor and his probation officer that both state that he is not a threat to my daycare.
Believe me...If I thought he would be a threat to my daycare I would not even be open. The parents all know him and he is a very respectable individual.
My son has been on the premises since the incident and the state has known everything that happened and my license ran up on December 2015. And they are just making this decision now. Just don't know where to turn.
Wow! It definitely sounds like your state reps are simply being hard on you! I totally understand past convictions and how they can work against you but your situation (or rather your son's) seems so cut and dried that it's silly that it is even an issue.
I would probably continue to wait until your contact person can figure out your next step. Do you think it would help to have your son's employer write a statement of recommendation for your son and maybe have your daycare parents write letters too? I don't know, just thinking out loud and wondering what else you could do to speed up the process and/or eliminate the this issue so you can continue on without this cloud hanging over you...
Hang in there!
