Child Care Licensing Procedure Manual
The CFS-294 is not a sanction or a penalty taken pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 48.715 and the licensee is not entitled to appeal this action. Licensees may, however, contest a certain violation or express general displeasure about being issued a CFS-294.
The licensing specialist should listen to and consider the licensee’s opinion with an open mind. It is possible that the licensee will provide evidence or documentation that will result in the licensing specialist rescinding a violation. Sometimes it may be necessary for the licensing specialist to refer an unhappy licensee to the licensing manager/supervisor for resolution and on very rare occasions, the licensing manager/supervisor may decide to rescind a violation after consulting with the licensing specialist.
