HLA Is Downsizing Staff?
Troll Control:
Has anyone heard of any public reasons why Hidden Lake Academy is downsizing its staff?
Recently they have let go two teachers and a counselor who was just a few weeks shy of "graduating" his peer group (Bill White).
There have been rumors to the effect that HLA has become financially insolvent. There are Ed Cons inquiring about HLA's financial stability and having reservations about placing more kids there. There has been a persistent buzz that one of HLA's major financing sources may be going to cut them off from further funding.
Can anyone shed some light on these issues?

Hmmm, perhaps it's a sign of things to come? Such as HLA withering away to NOTHING! :wave:

I think you may be on to something, Bus.
In addition to the three folks I mentioned before, I've learned that three other counselors have resigned. That's six employees in a matter of weeks.
Sounds like a classic "salary dump" and a few resignations in its wake due to corporate instability and fear that they may be next on the chopping block.
I've also heard that a significant number of kids have been sent to wilderness and to lockups as well. Maybe HLA has jettisoned its "scholarship" kids now too.
This dovetails with the fact that their Mountain Brook Academy project is all but dead and not even on life support. The local board smells something rotten and aren't going to make any concessions to the good doctor. I know the up-front costs to build would have been huge. Maybe they are in bad shape financially and can't secure the loan needed to fund MBA.
In any case, they're clearly unraveling. We'll just have to see how far it goes.
