From this description, it seemed that the school did follow up proactively.
The lack of urgency by ECDA is very very concerning. Hallmark of bochup attitude

The Beyond staff also asked ECDA if Megan was registered in any other pre-school.
ECDA did not find records of Megan’s enrolment in other pre-schools, and advised the Beyond staff to lodge a police report if there were concerns about the girl’s whereabouts.
Beyond told ST that Megan’s grandmother, who was her caregiver under the temporary care plan, was hesitant to file a police report, fearing it would irreparably damage her relationship with her daughter and cut her off from her granddaughter.
The caseworkers maintained regular contact with the grandmother over the next several months, and encouraged her to continue trying to reach Megan’s mother and to update Beyond on any developments.
“It was only in January 2020 that the grandmother acknowledged she had lost all contact, and consented to file a police report,” said Beyond. She was accompanied by a caseworker to file the report.
