This is, in point of fact, a lie.
Here's the link to ASR's profile in the list of DoE classified Special Education Schools:

It's true there is no category of "TBS" because the law does not recognize such a thing. The fact is, legally ASR is Spec Ed.

Just no way to get around this. Massachusetts has ruled on the matter and ASR is an (unapproved) Special Education School.
Not sure why people are trying to fight this so hard. ASR applied to the state for this classification and got it. Just click the link above to see their status for yourself, parents.

Finally, I think we all agree....they have been classified but are not subjected to the states antiquated rules because ASR hasn’t applied for approval status. So they remain out from under the states control for the most part.
I cant think of any parents that would want to spend $6,000 a month to send their kid to a state run facility. They can do this for free in their own state, camouflage uniforms, drill sergeants, institutional food etc……as long as ASR stays Private they will be able to freely provide the highest quality of care.
Troll Control:
If by "highest quality care" you mean "be held to lower standards than the worst of the worst public shools," then yes, I agree with you.
They are doing that now and will remain free to do so until the state steps in to rectify the situation and require ASR to hire competent licensed teachers, of which they currently employ none.

Can you provide a link to show the teachers are unlicensed?
..
Troll Control:
I called ASR and asked if any were licensed. They said they aren't legally required to hire licensed teachers and none of theirs are.
I think it was well established before by RB who gave each name to the DoE rep who confirmed that none were licensed.
In the meantime, I'll try to find links to teachers' licensing for Mass, but not sure if that can be had from the internet.
Are you saying they are licensed? If so, why does ASR say "no" and why are none listed as having a license on ASR's website? As a consumer, I'd like to see that listed, as it would be a very strong selling point. But it looks like there are no licensed teachers by ASR's own admission. At least they don't lie about it.
TheWho:
So, no link?
Okay, I think we believe you.
