Maybe it is, but not if the original memory is from a student record and not the student himself.

Well that should make the discerning parent feel all warm and fuzzy about their child's well-being.
Is HLAs tuition still being paid by insurance companies?
Are parents still taking tax write-offs for visits to see their 'disabled' child?
Might insurance companies feel a bit ripped off if they knew they were paying for tuition to a private boarding school? How would the IRS feel about parents writing off expenses related to visits to their kid's private boarding school?
Twist, turn, manipulate. HLA is not a traditional boarding school and ever person in this discussion knows that. Just the latest version of fraud being perpetrated, apparently industry wide.
Can we credit the NATSAP think tank for this clever new direction? Who IS the mastermind behind this brilliant illusion?

"My interest has to do with the fact that when I came across this board back in the spring, I found quite a few incorrect, misleading things being posted about a facility that I was associated with from its founding until February of 2001, and it was my home as well for 4 years, AND, the slanderous, hateful, UNTRUE things being said about my son's father. That is where my interest in this board comes from. My son's father, even though we have our differences and got divorced, is a very well respected person in his community. He loves his children dearly and is very close to his family. He takes his job very seriously and spends probably 10-14 hrs a day in his office or on campus, other than at his personal home. He works like a dog and so did his mother and father when they worked on campus for the 6 years they were there. I had alot of friends who worked there who were very decent, moral people, and I respect Dr. Buccellato for his expertise and interest in children and their educational and emotional upbringing. Dr. B has operated a traditional private day school for years in Atlanta, owns both HLA and Ridge Creek in addition to the new facility they have planned, and has had a successful private practice in Atlanta for over 20 yrs, and has worked with numerous public school systems in development of programs over the years. He knows good and well how to operate a school legally. He is a PHD and knows his "shit" so to speak. So, knowing what I know about the owner of this school and about some of its current and former employees, I find it offensive that some of you come on here pretending to "know it all" and because you dealt with some employees who didnt behave the way they should have or with experiences you yourself had, in the few months or year you were there, it means that every person is evil that was ever associated with the school and it needs to be shut down. You know my catholic high school that I went to sucked in some ways too and had its few employees that werent good but it is a wonderful school with wonderful people, great students, and great educational opportunities. You have to look at the whole picture. That is my interest in this board. You asked, I answered."

Specifically Mrs. Gray what "incorrect misleading statements" did we make?
Please list them off and state the reality of the situation.
Also can you discuss what changes needed to be made at HLA versus which ones were and why? Followed by telling us students who did have to deal with perhaps poor practices or
"dealt with some employees who didnt behave the way they should have or with experiences you yourself had"
do we now have a legitimate claim against the school?
Also can you go into why if everything is on the level there Buchi would need to operate illegally or even under a loop hole? Why not simply register with the state as a Theraputic Boarding School and deal with those regulations?
Get back to me on those Susie.

****According to this website Georgia has no regulations requiring private schools to be licensed or accredited.
Is that surprising.... afterall, it is Ga.
****According to the Dept of Education for Georgia website they do require schools to provide a basic education in all main subjects and have students attend at least 180 days a year.
Given the intelligence level of the parents HLA deals with... it will probably never cross their minds to ask who monitors the therapeutic aspect of the program. Kudos. You guys are really just brilliant!! You did really good for yourselves. So much for the kids.

"You should be asking him all those questions but I will answer the ones I know the answer to:
The school is operating legally.
The school is and has been accredited academically for years.
And as far as Danny Pervel, maybe he wasnt guilty of the "banging", maybe it was rumor and maybe it was kids making it all up, but I woudlnt know I dont know the guy.
As far as credentials maybe he was just as fooled by their credentials as everybody else. As you will notice, everybody there now has proper diplomas, etc.
Got any more?"

He wont talk to us remember, and you did agree to be his represenative on here, so you get the questions.
"The school is operating legally."
No its not and you know that you were married to its operations director.
The school has lied to the state about its purpose since its inception. It has claimed to be a traditional boarding school when it is in fact a theraputic boarding school, something they tell parents and something until we forced the situation its own website claimed.
It does this to avoid state regulations and oversight.
Is this your definition of legal?
"The school is and has been accredited academically for years."
Yeah the school is a joke that no one can fail, Im sure if these accredidation boards really looked at the level of education the inmates were getting they would yank it real quick. Again though its Georgia what difference does the accredidation make?
"As far as credentials maybe he was just as fooled by their credentials as everybody else. As you will notice, everybody there now has proper diplomas, etc."
Hmmm youre saying that Buchi was "fooled" by this staff member. The man he made what now the Dean of Students? The Headmaster?
Wouldnt such a position warrant a greater backround check? Wouldnt all the staff members at HLA since they are working with children be subject to rigorous backround checks?
How was he fooled and what did he do to remedy the situation? Also since you claim you have no affiliation with the school now, how would you know the credentials and backround of the current staff?
"And as far as Danny Pervel, maybe he wasnt guilty of the "banging", maybe it was rumor and maybe it was kids making it all up, but I woudlnt know I dont know the guy. "
Why automaticaly assume its a rumor? You have more than one student not only corroborating it but offering other disturbing details about this individual. Wouldnt this warrant the parents attention and be subject to a thorough investigation rather than just be dismissed as a rumor?
