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.

It is a sign that it is growing because they didnt have those positions filled last year and this year they will have all these new people. That is considered growth. It looks like a half a million in extra salaries this year. I am sure they lost many employees when HLA closed. People cannot stand around not getting a pay check hoping the school will open again.

Whooter,
After reading though the post, I have to say that while I disagree with about 99.9% of the stuff that DJ post, he has this one right. This school is not adding positions due to growth; in fact, if my info is correct they are in trouble. I mean trouble from a business point of view and nothing else. I am sure that constant bashing from the likes of DJ do not help matters any, but I am telling you from a purely business point of view they have problems.

This is the right thread to discuss this, Goose, and thank you for your input. They dont seem to be in trouble from a financial standpoint because they are committing about $500,000 in salary increases for 2011. Maybe they are gambling on getting state appointed kids and are beefing up their payroll who knows, but it appears from their plans for 2011 that they are expecting an increase in volume.
Do you think this is all just a front to get state kids?

Whooter,
I would love to know where you pulled that info from. My info shows that at present, they are having trouble meeting payroll. You and I both know that if some finical work sheet or plan show an increase in budget for the following year in payroll, it means nothing if you can’t pay the employees you currently have. Hence, I am guessing, part of the reason for the employee turnover.

I agree, Goose, if they are loosing employees due to non payment or financial problems then the job descriptions for new hires that they posted for 2011 may be just a front. I dont know how they operate.
