RC is functioning with a director who meets the requirements...I am extremely confident in Steve at RCI and I know this is the type of guy who advocates for employees and kids alike.
Inconsequential. Even if Steve possesses the required credentials (I'll check later) to fill the Director's position, he can't hold all three positions.
http://fornits.com/wwf/viewtopic.php?p=232477#232477The reason HLA told them to get lost is because they cannot legally open records for kids who are privately placed without a court order. Its not about cooperation Robert...as much as I know you would like for us to hang ourselves, it would have been an illegal move to let them view confidential files. These laws can also be accessed online or in our constitution.
HLA told them to get lost because they are a private corporation and can do so. Exactly why they need to be licensed. Who told you that ORS wanted to view students files? Pretty sure ORS knows the law and their rights. You simply delayed access and caused them the headache of going through the court.
We offer therapy for kids who struggle with various emotional and behavioral issues.
Was this divulged to ORS? That requires a license.
Im not sure you would love to see some stats on school violence because it would disprove the point you are so passionate about. Go to google and type in school violence statistics. Im not spending my time doing your research.
As for violence and suicide in public schools. We have looked at that research here, pretty extensively.

150 some deaths in the industry since 1980. It's only by shear luck that HLA doesn't have any kids on the death list. You, nor I, nor any prospective parent can compare the safety of HLA to public schools because the incidents of violence, attempted suicides, injuries that occur at HLA aren't reported. And won't be until they are licensed. Mute issue.
Why don't we stick to the basic questions pertinent to this thread.
Has RC reported to ORS that their Adm Dir and Program Dir left? What would the state advise RC do in this situation? And whether it's consider rude or not, is Steve mentally competent to hold the position of Director? How severe were his injuries?
