Look below DHS's press release and you will find it:
We are pleased that the ongoing legal dispute between Mount Bachelor Academy (MBA) and the State of Oregon Department of Human Services (DHS) has finally been satisfactorily resolved. The DHS has agreed to withdraw or modify all of its actions against MBA and MBA’s former director. The DHS’ withdrawal of its order suspending MBA’s license supports our position that they did not have justification for that order in the first place. The DHS has acknowledged with this settlement that in fact there was additional evidence no abuse had occurred.

That's still the quote from the Prez of Aspen Ed. His position is that DHS's decision to withdraw it's actions means that "they didn't have the justification for that order in the first place". The actual DHS statement says nothing like that.

Regardless of who said it, It was clearly stated in the article:
"DHS has agreed to withdraw or modify all of its actions against MBA"

--- Quote from: "Anne Bonney" ---...what the DHS actually said, which is quoted again below and it says nothing about them backing off of their findings.

No, it sure doesn't. That's an invention of Whooter's. All they say is that some charges were withdrawn and some charges were modified. For all we know they withdrew some minor ones and modified upward the serious ones. We won't know until we see some source materials from DHS describing the changes. All the rest is plain old "Whooter spin" on Aspen's behalf.

More quotes from the same article:
News of the settlement was applauded by supporters of the school, including Elaine Povich, a Washington, D.C., freelance journalist, who credits MBA with "giving her son the tools he needed to study, graduate and go on with his education."
"Before MBA, he was floundering," she said. "He benefited immensely from the program, and developed important relationships with the staff there."
"It is gratifying to see the settlement in which DHS admits what we parents knew all along - the state caused a completely unecessary disruption of a unique and successful school community by acting precipitiously and without gathering all of the facts first," Povich told NewsChannel 21.
"The state went off half-cocked," Povich added. "I hope especially that this settlement will mean that no other school will be subjected in the future to similar callous treatment by DHS."

Thankfully MBA is no more and cannot continue to abuse and neglect children placed in its "care."

Well, since MBA was closed down for abuse I guess they don't need to take any more action. Works out nicely.
