You are wrong John Reuben. It is an unethical system that was implemented by SACS/SACS CASI in procuring surveyors and their findings at the facilities which is faulty. It is not ethical to allow facilities up for accreditation to choose friends, colleagues, employees or any individual that could benefit financially or otherwise as the facility surveyors. It is not objective, therefore not reliable, not to mention preposterous. The 4 goons (surveyors) that came out were Buccellato's 'friend's and one female employee of his brother at St. Francis and yes, I have their names, paper and elecronic copy. According to staff interviews and emails, the SACS surveyors did not even tour the facility, but stayed in the office having a wonderful time being placated. The surveyor deck was always stacked in Buccellato's favor. "Wined and dined and maybe if we keep them in the office area, they won't notice there is no science lab "- a running joke amongst the staff. Buccellato chose his accreditation team, whether SACS/CASI has changed the way surveyors are assigned, with no accomodation to the facility requests for certain surveyors in 2009 lies with them. Yes, I was told SACS attorney's were looking into the complaints.. Three years later, they must be still looking. That is what transpired. That is why to the lot of us, SACS/CASI accreditation means nothing and with good reason. You did not deal with SACS, their song and dance like I did, along with several other parents over the years. Like the ORS, it was not the underlings in these agencies, they did their job. It was the upper echelon of these agencies that dug their heads in the sand to protect themselves as this all went down on their watch. It was also the fear of Buccellato's wrath and arm that extends far beyond Dahlonega. As I have stated before, I stand by everything that was in the class action suit, as it was just a lone pit of a cherry, beside hundreds of others not yet bloomed. Buccellato is poison personified, period; who he screwed on the way up, he will see on the way down. You are out of your league regarding HLA and Buccellato. You are part of an estimated 50-60 billion dollar industry that exploits children and their families in distress, novices that are preyed upon. We are no longer novices John. You chose to align yourself with unethical people in this horrific industry, that is your cross to carry not ours. Every time you make a deposit at the bank, along with all the rest of your low life cronies, you are depositing blood money.
