Are you certain this case (involving charges that a Hyde teacher sexually harassed a student) was "thrown out"? What's more likely is that the case was "dismissed" after the parties agreed to settle. That's very different from the case being thrown out. Does anyone know what actually happened here?

It was thrown out because it was BULLSHIT. Got it now?

On what are you basing your conclusion that the case was thrown out? Is this your opinion or fact? If it's fact, how do you know this? Are you saying no money changed hands to settle the case?

I believe complaints against Hyde School also have been filed with the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. There are several comments to that effect on this website.

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"

I don't know all the details, but there's a major research project at some Florida university that's examining unlicensed and unregulated schools that accept students whose needs they may not be, or are not, able to meet. My impression is that this research project is trying to identify schools and programs that are abusive and/or accept large numbers of students with psychiatric needs without having the staff or program to help them (the latter seems especially close to Hyde's profile). I'll see if I can find that website.
