Obviously? Whats so obvious about it. Also you still arent answering the question as to how you not being an employee would possibly know the answer. The truth is you have no way of really knowing. I'll tell you what we can do though, we can ask Dysfunction. We know for a fact he was an employee there. He can settle it. As to the previous poster, does that mean any students who were there prior to drug testing have a valid complaint. Also what about the sexual predators.
Oh and for the record just because HLA may do drug testing for its employees now in no way suggest they arent still using drugs.
Afterall as many students can attest we all had drug test done after returning from trips. Many passed them by cheating. Adults can do the same thing. "
When I was hired I did not get a background check. I was not asked to provide any criminal history. I was not screened for drugs in any way, nor was I asked if I was or ever had been a drug user. The entire time I worked there no drug tests for any employees were given.
There were quite a few surprisingly hard partiers working there. The headmaster at the time was known to have killed a pedestrian in a drunk driving accident. He told all of us, including the kids, how he struck and killed a man walking down the street while driving drunk.
The man in charge of the therapeutic component of the program (the "head clinician") was known to have a fake doctorate from a diploma mill. I know this for a fact, and as much has been admitted by their employees on this board. The same man gave me and another counselor his vehicle to drive a suicidal kid to the hospital. In the glovebox, we discovered, was a loaded handgun.
So, the short answer is "no" they didn't do background checks or drug tests.
