High risk Vehicles used to transport children must carry a first-aid kit.
State rule 746.5617(a)(6) (minimum standards for child-care centers): "Required Equipment in Vehicles - First-aid Kit"

The first aid kit observed did not include antiseptic solution, a thermometer, tweezers, and a guide to first aid and emergency care. The transportation vehicles were utilized during AM transportation services. The operation Director was able to obtain additional supplies from the office in order to add to the transportation vehicles.

State rule 746.5617(a)(1) (minimum standards for child-care centers): "Required Equipment in Vehicles - List of Children"
Inspector's note: The transportation driver did not utilize the list of children to conduct a name to face check to ensure all children were dropped off to their designated location. Although, there was a list of children on the transportation vehicle, the driver did not follow the policy, which resulted in a child being dropped off at an incorrect location/school.

What the risk levels mean
Texas gives every rule a weight from High to Low, based on the risk to children when it is broken. A citation is one rule found not met at one visit. How to read a Texas inspection report.
- High risk: breaking it can put a child in immediate danger (for example supervision, ratios, safe sleep, background checks, prohibited punishment).
- Medium-high risk: a real safety or health concern, but usually less immediate (for example hazards in a room, missing medical or allergy information, required training).
- Medium risk: important for health and safety over time (for example records, drills, equipment upkeep).
- Medium-low risk: mostly paperwork or reporting that supports safety.
- Low risk: administrative requirements with little direct risk to children.
