This document is archived in the public record.

Exerpted verbatim from Document 57, Case 2:06-cv-00146-WCO, a sworn affadavit from Leonard Buccellato:


--- Quote ---Dr. Leonard Buccellato, who upon being duly sworn, testifies as follows:

4.  "...Since September 1, 2006, 42 of the 120 employees of HLA have been terminated due to decreased revenues."

5.  "Despite reductions in the number of staff and reductions in the salaries of those who remained employed by HLA, HLA's revenue is insufficient to cover its expenses (mortgage, payroll, utilities, etc.) each month."

6.  "Due to the dire financial situation faced by HLA, further reductions in the number of staff employed by HLA or closure of the school is imminent."

7.  "Further staff reductions will result in a decreased quality of service to...students."

8.  "Even more troublesome is the imminent threat of closure of HLA..."

9.  "HLA...will not likely survive two months..."

Signed, Dr. Leonard Buccellato
2 February 2007

Exerpted verbatim from a letter to HLA parents from Leonard Buccellato, dated 25 April, 2007:


--- Quote ---"....We are not making plans to close the school...  

...a couple of misinformed individuals perpetrated the idea, and continue today to speculate without any benefit of a knowledgeable base-in-fact...  

We are not short staffed as a few would like you to believe...  

Young single staff in particular, become dissatisfied with the amount of social and living amenities offered within the area and make the decision to leave in favor of a city or urban area. Some of our staff come to us through the local military community, which are subject to duty transfers more now than ever and leave...  

Again, we are not short staffed...

It is school as usual..."

Obviously, one set of statements is true and one set is false.  

The question remains, "Did Buccellato perjure himself to the court, or is he continuing to lie to parents of children at HLA?"

Parents, you must review the public record.  You don't have to believe anything you read here.  Go to the source.  Compare Buccellato's sworn affadavit to the court with the email he authored to you.  

Does it pass the smell test? Is this an honest broker?  Is this someone who should be entrusted with the care of your child?  If he would lie to you or to the court about serious matters like this, what else may have you been misled about?  Look into it.  Go to the source documents.  See for yourself.  Your child and family deserve your effort to find the truth hidden in the lies.

If you'd like copies of these original documents you can PM and I will provide them to you.

Deborah:
Is the judge and plaintiffs lawfirm aware of this letter?

Anonymous:
Yes letter sent

I'm unaware of what the judge knows, but it's doubtful it would have gotten to his attention this quickly.  I am aware, however, that the palintiffs and their attorneys are cognizant of it and are following up.

Interestingly, despite this letter, I have been told by a few current HLA parents that as soon as they get their kids out - they are waiting until the end of the academic year - they will also be signing up to the class action suit or retaining private counsel to pursue issues they describe as "fraud."  Some related that they are "afraid" to speak up until their kids are home for fear of "retaliation" against them or their children.

This email, in my opinion, will become entered into evidence in the class case and/or other individual suits.

--- Quote ---Summer is historically a difficult time for parents. With family vacations and general summer activities children are sorely missed. It is understandable that parents would like to have their child home early, therefore, they ask us to make academic exceptions. Doing so could seriously jeopardize our accreditation. We cannot give grades a student has not earned.

Did he put this part in just to scare parents from pulling their kids? What difference would it make if a parent pulled their kid before the term began? Are the employing the "we might lose your transcript" technique again?
