Ridge Creek School experiencing well deserved success
RobertBruce:
--- Quote from: "Whooter" ---RC was a wilderness only and just recently changed into a boarding school for college preparatory kids who are at-risk. After HLA closed they needed to start over. When a place starts over they need to employ (or re-employee) new ed-cons to refer students to them. They need to employ new people, this takes time to grow the business back to the point where they can afford to hire heads for each department, especially Master leveled employees. Small businesses and businesses starting out are run by the people who start them and they wear several hats for years until the business grows to a point where they can start hiring people to head up various departments which allows the owners to step back a little and manage the business instead of the day to day details.
It appears that RCS has positioned itself to take on more students than it did in 2010. Hiring heads of departments is a very good sign especially in this economy.

RC has been in operation for close to ten years. They have a long standing existing infrastructure and is in no way "started over" . The only real change was changing the letter head on all the company stationary. Any short comings after all this time is abhorent, and only further adds creedence to the claim that RC is unsafe and should be avoided.

RC was wilderness only. After HLA closed RC became Ridge Creek School and now they have as therapeutic school as well as wilderness. Their student base has slowly been growing and they have re-established their relationships with various educational consultants. Looking forward to 2011 the school is positioning themselves for a more rapid growth. Here are the present jobs they are looking to fill for 2011 and they will be adding more as the school continues to expand.

I think we can all agree that if they were not doing well they would be cutting back and laying off people, like many businesses are in this economy.

So now you're claiming that they've been operating all this time without these positions filled?

If you started a business (or restarted an old business, it would be foolish to go out and hire expensive heads for all of your departments until you knew what the present demand was for your product. The owner(s) typically stand in as heads of all the departments until the business gets established. Once the business takes off and begins to grow the owner starts to take a step back and he/she hires people to take on his previous roles.
As these new people are hired in 2011 Len will be able to take a back seat to the day to day operations and focus more on growing his business from a more global perspective.

And what you keep carefully avoiding is the fact that these positions were already filled. RC has been around for years, simply because it was expanded due to the closure of HLA does not mean the positions simply disappeared. The positions and people filling them were already in place.
Once again, refilling other people's old positions is not a sign of growth.
