Shortlist replaces people’s names in the state’s text with initials. This is done by rule, not by hand, so it can miss a name or shorten a word that isn’t one. The state’s report, linked on each row, has the original.
Openings, child care subsidies, hours and late pickup, teaching approach, ratios and staff, and sick and biting policies aren’t on this page.
