If you don't want these details to be public, don't say them in the first place.

Fixed some stuff in my last post....

Okay, Someone came thru it looks like…Thanks guest... Let me get my glasses on. Ahhhh EEC, we have been thru this. They fall under the requirements of Private Residential Schools not serving children with special needs, so they don’t need a residential license. The stickler here as I remember was the definition of “Special needs”. In Massachusetts you need an I.E.P. developed for your child and if I remember correctly 30% or more of the students need to qualify under this definition to require the school to seek a residential license…I am sure greater than 90% if not all the kids do not have an IEP and are not on a state ED plan…..anyway that is a different battle.
But anyway looking at sec 3.07 part 7 and part 9 that was provided for us:
Part 7: No resident shall be subjected to abuse or neglect, cruel, unusual, severe or corporal punishment
Looking back on the past few pages I don’t see any disagreement that they do indeed meet these requirements…. Lets move on………
Okay here is where we had our discussion, let’s take a look:
Part 9: Visiting, Mail and Telephones
“Any restrictions or censorship must be no greater than necessary……” Okay
“Staff may open and inspect a resident's mail for contraband “ Okay
“Telephone communications may not be monitored or unreasonably
restricted unless there are specific therapeutic reasons justifying such
limitations…………………………. If phone conversations are monitored, the parties to the conversations
must be informed” Okay, I think we mentioned the counselors keep a log to ensure each child completes the phone call and if any problems occurred, so they are well within this requirement.
So as far as we see ASR is meeting or exceeding these standards as I had indicated.
There was mention of a report from a walk thru or inspection, but we haven’t seen it yet.
