--- Quote from: "guest 99" ---Bankruptcy up-date: No surprise...HLA has asked the court for another extension regarding handing over their financials.. colorful I am sure. On this end,no news as to whether there is a 'stay' for HLA to be sold on the courthouse steps tomorrow...

Any news on that auction supposedly occurring today?
--- End quote ---
HLA was not put up for auction yesterday because of the bankruptcy filing.
--- End quote ---
That was my fear right off the bat when the bankruptcy filing was announced.
Whatever became of the fact that Buccellato personally guaranteed that $400,000 (non-payment of which was the premise for auctioning off the property)? If it cannot be extracted from the sale of the property, is the next step "foreclosing" on his personal assets?
This ends up circumventing Hidden Lake Academy, Inc. almost entirely.
Anonymous:
Buccellato gave a sworn affidavit to the court, a personal guarantee, backing that settlement, which with his track record of liens, means nothing. However, Berger and Montague are arguing because of his personal guarantee his personal assets should be tapped, thus taking it out of HLA, INC. No surprise there. He knew what he was doing then and he knows what he is doing now. He has a very shrewd financial guru. One has to understand this mans mindset. He never intended to pay.

It is no surprise that HLA is going through troubles. I have recently been pulled from HLA due to their financial problems, which the kids at the school are somewhat oblivious to. The school in itself DOES HAVE THE POTENTIAL to help kids to excel and life, and it does that for a lot of kids! The problem is that over the past few years the school has been digging a ditch of financial troubles, deception, and occasional abuse. This school is not what was five years ago, not by a longshot. The school population has decreased from about 60 kids to less than 30 over the may break. I know that it is hard for a parent to withdraw a student from the program early, the counselors are trained to keep your child from being 'pulled'. My message to the parents with a student still at HLA: It would be a good idea to reconsider having your child at this school during this time of bankruptcy, etc.. It is also not a healthy place to be. In my six months there, I saw numerous fights, several windows and doors broken, and many students self-mutilating and making tattoos with tacks on the wall. Don't blame all of this on your child. Remember: Anyone would act out-of-line in a school that is run by self-absorbed headmasters. Take it from me. This place really IS as bad as it's cracked up to be.
Thanks.

sounds like nothing with the exception of financial troubles has changed at HLA in the last five years. the HLA you are describing sounds like the good ol HLA of the late 90's early 00's. nothing has changed. seriously.
i wonder how many generations of kids have been using the same thumbtacks to tattoo themselves. those thumbtacks are a commodity. they get traded and passed along from student to student. in my time, counselors would rarely provide thumbtacks. the ones i used were a collection of tacks i got from students who were graduating and two of my roommates that got pulled; i used those the whole time and even got into a fight over other kids stealing my tacks, and then when i graduated i gave them to my friends that were staying. i used them for their intended purpose of course, but when i first arrived while i was in earth element i gave myself a bunch of tattoos...they only lasted about a month or two as i didnt go deep and i used crappy pen ink, but it was still a really stupid idea. i hope HLA tests for transmittable diseases upon enrollment, otherwise there may be a HUGE risk of hiv/hep/etc transmission among students.
there were a few occasions where i found razor blades stashed in various places around the school .... all with obvious bloodstains. they were in books, the spaces between the desks and the walls, taped under tables, under rocks, under the carpet, inside the light fixtures....i stumbled across around a dozen entirely accidentally in my time there. there seemed to be an epidemic of them for a time, during the construction of the new academic building the workers would sometimes leave tools behind on the site or drop them somewhere in the vicinity of the site. among those tools were boxcutters and exacto knives, from which kids stole blades at night or on restrictions. also, there were some kids with excessive hair growth who were permitted to have traditional non-electric razors. those got stolen. alot.
