Did anybody on this board ever stop to think that perhaps in the early days they didnt do background checks or pre employment drug screens and now they do? I know in the late 90's they did do pre drug screens and random drug testing of employees and those employees who were tested positive were fired on the spot. These comments between individuals may not be lies it may be a matter of when they were there

So, no they didnt do any drug testing prior to the "late 90's".

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.

When it suited your purpose earlier, you stated that HLA didn't do drug tests until the late 90's, and now you are trying to say that I was fired for a positive drug test in 1995?
Get a grip, people. Your lame smear tactics are so worn out. You'll say anything to avoid the real issues.
So, just for the purpose of consistency... Please post the drug test results from the non-existent test that you falsely claim was performed and that you claim I failed. The BS goes on and on and on...
