--- Quote from: ""Guest"" ---
--- Quote from: ""Guest"" ---Martin Quirk contended that the accusations against Hidden Lake Academy are merely the result of disgruntled parents who, after withdrawing their children prior to completion of the program, are now reluctant to forfeit their deposit. These fees, he added, are a normal part of such schools.
?A couple of parents that withdrew their children didn't like that provision, which they had signed,? said Quirk. ?And apparently blew it way out of proportion.?
You keep on believing that Marty......

At this weekends' Parent WorkShop, one parent told me that HLA
re-iterated "that it was a couple of disgruntled parents"....and basically no big thing...however, Cates neglected to say that HLA was being investigated by "ALL" STATE and corresponding Federal
Agencies.... Now, to understand this undertaking, there is no way
a firm like Berger and Montague would take this lawsuit if it did not have merit.... it is no different with the State and Federal agencies..
Investigations of this magnitude take time, man power and an exhorbitant amount of money....let's get real HLA....

IF THIS WERE JUST A COUPLE OF DISGRUNTLED PARENTS AND THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG AT HLA, WHY IS HLA RUNNING AROUND CHANGING EVERYTHING?????

Good question:
Dear Parents and Consultants:
Recently, we noticed an increase in the number of negative incidents in our medications dispensary. As we all know, degrees and certifications do not automatically make an organized, responsible employee. Personnel are consistently evaluated and staff changes made if we see no way of correcting the situation. All health-related organizations have negative incidents occur, but we always endeavor to address the issues and make changes in order to move forward.
Joe Stapp is now acting as the Dispensary supervisor. Joe is an Assistant Headmaster, clinical supervisor, and a former peer group counselor at Hidden Lake Academy.
In order to minimize errors and continue to provide quality care for the students, Joe is looking to implement the following changes:
Blister packaging medication in order to help with better medication management.
Acquiring delivery service from the pharmacy with whom HLA contracts.
Increasing communication among the dispensary staff in order to better coordinate dispensary duties.
Begin a more formal process of tracking dispensary activities to catch problems before they occur.
Begin cross-training assistant counselors on Dispensary duties to ensure adequate coverage in the Dispensary.
If you have any additional issues needing to be addressed involving the Dispensary, please feel free to contact Joe Stapp. We look forward to another great school year at HLA.
Sincerely,
Nicole Fuglsang, MA, NCC, LPC
Director of Admissions/ Public Relations

Let me guess... Joe can clearly identify the difference between welbutrin, prozac, and lexapro? How many other schools utilize non-nursing/medical staff to dispense medications (on a large volume basis)? Are the assistant counselors well versed on which meds get cheeked the most and distributed on campus. This is sort of like hearing the train whistle blow and having the vantage point of seeing that the bridge ahead is completely out. I sense a derailment coming up soon.

Let's see....apparently..
Dr. Buccellato sited on campus....saying "Hi" on Monday.
Charles Cates not saying anything...well, some things don't change..
It has been reported that shredding is taking place....50
gallon drum for burning has been replaced...or has it been sidelined
temporarily....ask housekeeping...
Clay Erickson's M.D. has been removed from HLA website....M.D. was removed years back...
Clay Erickson has just been demoted from the 'Dispensary'...
Ease of Pulling your child now...no meetings, just good-bye..
Testimonials on web-site, is that new?
Faculty credentials now up-dated on web-site....
Perhaps while they are at it, they could release the childrens academic records now, since it is a federal regulation...
Anyone care to add to the lists??
