Lawsuits and complaints against Hyde School?
Anonymous:
I am gathering information on lawsuits or formal complaints that have been filed against the Hyde School. I would also like to know about any lawsuits or complaints that are currently pending. Please post any information you have about past or pending cases. Thank you.

What are you gathering this information for? If it is for your own lawsuit, your attorney will be able to investigate previous lawsuits. If the case went all the way through to the end stage, there would be record. I don't however whether "settled" lawsuits would be accesible to the public and I don't know if Hyde would be obligated to divulge it in deposition. Maybe Lars knows the answer to this.
If you read through all these posts you will read about one particular lawsuit which was against the school for sexual inappropriateness by one of their faculty against a female student. Other than that one, I have not read about others thus far, but I am sure there have been some others leveled against a school like this who does not follow the same guidelines as public schools and abuses it's role.
There is a big campaign right now about making these kinds of schools accountable and putting in place more rules and regulations so they can't get away with what they do. If I find the website with the information I will pass it along. It might be somewhere on Fornits. Ginger can answer that one for us!
Hope this helps. Another suggestion I have is to post a private email address for those wishing to respond to you. Don't forget Hyde does have their ways of making a kid pay for talking against them

The lawsuit referred to in this last post regarding inappropriate sexual behavior was thrown out of court and the civil case was settled by the insurance company

What was "thrown out of court." We heard it was a civil case and was settled after jury selection! There was never any mention of anything being "thrown out of court, but maybe you have more first hand knowledge? Did the judge actually throw the lawsuit out of court? Your inference is that maybe it was criminal and then became civil?

To answer your question, I am conducting research on boarding schools that accept a high percentage of students who have struggled in more traditional settings AND who have significant mental health histories, diagnoses, and issues. My focus is on schools that accept large numbers/percentages of these students without having any formal mental health services, staff, or program to address their mental health needs.
My impression is that the Hyde School falls into this category. The school's website indicates that many of their students fit this profile. As far as I can tell, the school does not employ mental health professionals or directly address these mental health issues (beyond agreeing to transport students to local counselors in the community). I am trying to find public information about problems that Hyde students who have mental health challenges may have encountered at the school which led to mental health crises, major behavioral problems, expulsion, suspension, running away, or parents' decisions to withdraw the student. In some cases around the U.S. these circumstances have led to lawsuits and other formal complaints.
