Mount Bachelor could reopen
Whooter:
I still disagree with your opinion. Sometimes we tend to read into things too much and get caught up in our own opinions. Lets go back and look at the original article we have been referencing:

Here is a summary as seen by Aspen Education:
A statement from Phil Herschman, President of Aspen Education Group, on behalf of Mount Bachelor Academy:
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.
As we have repeatedly stated throughout this process, our fundamental disagreements with the DHS' original allegations and consequent actions were strong and deep. We had collected abundant evidence that disproved those allegations, particularly the most egregious ones.
Despite the tragic circumstances of Mount Bachelor’s closure, we hope to open a new, even more successful school on the MBA campus in the future, and wish to publicly thank our skilled and dedicated employees who touched the lives of thousands of troubled teens for more than two decades at MBA, and the loyal alumni and families who steadfastly supported us.

Com'on Dysfunction, they said this and they said that, bottom line the program will be back open soon. Now what are you doing about that.
What is the plan.

Yep, probably.....just like Straight did under a different name to avoid the bad publicity.

Exposing what they did under the former name, like we did with Straight.
Dysfunction Junction:
Well, right now the plan is to continue to educate prospective parents that Aspen is abusive and deadly, as shown in the investigations by Oregon DHS. They killed a kid at Sagewalk last year (murder charges still being considered) and MBA was shut down for "systemic child abuse," as defined and shown in the DHS reports.
If Aspen reopens there, it will only be a matter of time before they get caught abusing kids again. MBA was shut down for abuse twice already.
I hope they don't reopen, but the sad fact is that these programs get shut for abuse and just reopen under a new name with all the same faces running the scam.
I'll be counting on people like you to blow the whistle when kids are being abused again at this dangerous facility. These kids should be protected from abuse.

My guess is that they will reopen under another name or sell the site and reopen elsewhere in Oregon. I believe they will stay in Oregon because they sort of owe them one since they screwed up and forced them to close MBA.
From the press releases they seem to have come to an understanding of sorts.
