Petition
1) n. a formal written request to a court for an order of the court. It is distinguished from a complaint in a lawsuit which asks for damages and/or performance by the opposing party. Petitions include demands for writs, orders to show cause, modifications of prior orders, continuances, dismissal of a case, reduction of bail in criminal cases, a decree of distribution of an estate, appointment of a guardian, and a host of other matters arising in legal actions. 2) n. a general term for a writing signed by a number of people asking for a particular result from a private governing body (such as a homeowners association, a political party, or a club). 3) in public law, a writing signed by a number of people which is required to place a proposition or ordinance on the ballot, nominate a person for public office, or demand a recall election. Such petitions for official action must be signed by a specified number of registered voters (such as five percent). 4) v. to make a formal request of a court; to present a written request to an organization's governing body signed by one or more members. 5) n. a suit for divorce in some states, in which the parties are called petitioner and respondent.
Lawsuit
n. a common term for a legal action by one person or entity against another person or entity, to be decided in a court of law, sometimes just called a "suit." The legal claims within a lawsuit are called "causes of action."

okay...i am the original poster AND former HLA employee (not so long ago) and the facts are as it stands from what i understand to be true:
all of the positions that have been "discontinued" have NOT been filled...other people have switched into the roles and still have to do all of their old duties...for example:
david jordan left rci, scott took on his roll plus his own, scott then left, cheryl took over part of those duties, cheryl left so now steve took over her therapeutic duties, then mark left so no steve is now left to do ALL admin and therapeutic duties...minus the 10%, isn't that right and i think that the only ones at RCI left are steve (possibly...depending on how badly the tag team len/jeff lunch went on friday), marty, danielle (who is now miserable and ready to leave), bridgette...i think that sounds about right...
so yeah, i guess 5 people makes a good ratio for only 5 students!!! running a 24 hour program...should be interesting, eh...
as for HLA...OH AND BY THE WAY...DEPT HEADS, DON'T FORGET NOT TO CASH YOUR PAYCHECKS UNTIL YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED TO (oh and Merry Christmas to you too!)
there are still several counseling staff and department heads...but gee, they go home at 5 or 8 or 10 and then there is who, trey, lee, shannon (maybe 1 or 2 more, not sure if elsa, or the other guy who was there) left to watch 90 or so kids...hmmm...sounds safe...and then they leave at 10 or so....then there were none!
and the kids are alone basically in the dorms...and "dude" i have been there when they were fully staffed and the 911 call went out for the girl who hung herself in the closet and came about seconds away from death...and when the cutters were running rampent on campus, when "hanibal" would come back from break and cut himself to ribbons because of what he did on breaks, when the girl raped the other with the stick...when the kids got hazed in the dorms, i saw the bruises, i saw the broken fingers, etc that went untreated and then had to have surgery to fix the problems...i have seen the incident reports about the kids giving eachother hand and blow jobs on the busses when they were supposed to be being watched...so "dude" don't tell me i don't know what i am talking about...i was there, i saw it, and i saw it covered up!
so do what you please on this beautiful day, but don't you dare tell ME that this is bullshit...casue you and i both know it is far from that!!!!!!!
and as for attrition...lets talk about THAT after finals which are convienently given AFTER winter break so that the kids will HAVE to return from break!

oh, and another thing...for my not knowing anything...
Harper, the fantastic, loving special ed teacher for all those kids (80%) who are on IEP's...IS LEAVING...leaving them AGAIN with NO spec ed teacher...which was one of the things sited in the lawsuit AND something that they use in a selling point to the potential parents...AND the BELOVED music teacher Richard Prow left right after graduation!
so for teachers how many does that leave so i am thinking matt paul is pulling double duty or is that triple duty...AGAIN...oh wait, maybe kathleen is teaching again... :lol: ...wait, no she is to busy up David R's butt!! guess since len found a new butt muncher (jeff and mike) you are demoted to david!!!

No can do. Violation of Regs. One person can't fill three key positions- Adm Dir, Dir, Therapist. And staff from HLA can't be cross utilized. Has RC reported this to ORS? To parents of kids who are there?
Hadn't heard that Cheryl left. That's unfortunate. She was the only reasonable and rational person I interacted with at both facilities. The only staff that treated me with a shread of decency and respect. A significant loss for RC.

i agree about cheryl...she is an amazing and insightful person! as for the reporting...i don't think anyone has as of yet, but i really don't know...all of this just recently happened with mark, etc...so someone may have an i just don't know yet...DJ...do you know?
if i find out i will let you know...and i may just make the call myself...
