ASR
Troll Control:
--- Quote from: ""Dysfunction Junction"" ---I agree. It's settled. Energy should be focused on lobbying the state agencies to enforce their regulations in regard to ASR. Let's work that contact list and get it going.
It is amusing to watch TheWho get totally worn down through his self-flagellation though. That's worth something.
But, yes, some facts have been established.
1. ASR is classified by the state. They are classified as a "Special Education School".
2. ASR does not employ any licensed teachers nor any special educators, so they remain "unapproved" by the state.
3. ASR does not appear in the Mohawk Regional School District's comprehensive review for 2007 which indicates their "partnership" with the district has ended in 2007.
4. ASR remains unaccredited and is legally barred by the state from issuing state sanctioned diplomas.
These appear to be the only objectively verifiable facts and the rest of the back-and-forth is just raw speculation.

As was stated, these are the objectively verifiable facts. The state's motivation to do or not do things, the "hybrid" argument, etc., is all just speculation. The facts above are the only ones that are verifiable and not someone's opinion.
What AnonWho just posted is simply more of his opinions, but the facts are listed in the quoted post above.
Let's just stick with facts to keep the dialogue real - nobody needs phonied-up information and opinions that don't bear out with the facts.

Agreed. Let Cindy have his delusions and temper tantrums. He's not convincing anyone of anything except of the fact that we're right.
I spoke yesterday with someone in the EEC about what to do about ASR's violations. From my conversations with him I still believe the 30% rule would be the easiest route.

It would be a great idea to contact the EEC pointman for MTRSD to get a quality audit started or to get ASR to stop making the claim they are affiliated with MTRSD, which apparently they aren't.

Thank you guest, Finally someone is listening.....
As I have been saying all along.... Call the school or call the number above or the DOE in Massachusetts.
They do have licensed counselors and they dont need to have special ed teachers as many here would have you believe. They are not licensed in the state of Massachusetts as a TBS because the state doesnt license TBS's simply because they dont have regulations written for them.
Call and ask, like the guest suggested also.

Thanks but we already knew that.

They arent licensed as anything. They meet the definition of a special needs program which Mass does have regulations for. ASR is simply avoiding them.
