VDOE: SwimRVA should have been licensed before 9-year-old King Overton drowned

WTVR CBS 6 Short Score 47

Description

SwimRVA was required to obtain a license to operate a "child day program" from the Virginia Department of Education’s Superintendent but it did not, according to an email from a VDOE spokesperson.

That means SwimRVA was operating an unlicensed child day program when 9-year-old King Overton drowned at a swim camp at its North location in June.
