Ridge Creek School experiencing well deserved success

--- Quote ---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.

Look at their web site, Robert. These are new positions. These job positions were never listed on the RCS web site from day one. They have not had these people for the last year or so since they started up.

It was interesting to read some of the history.
At one point HLA was the second largest private employer in Lumpkin County, with 138 faculty and staff, 90 of whom lived in the county. Additionally, 12 local people were employed by the food service contractor used by the school.
It appears the Ridge Creek School has turned the corner and is rebuilding quickly to grow back the business that it once had.

I guess there can be no denials of violent crime on the RCS campus when the news of the violent crimes are published on "violentcrimenews.com".
I have a feeling that before RCS runs its course and gets shut down by authorities that it will make the violent crime news feed many more times.

Very good point DJ, this clearly shows that these kids need the type of help that Ridge Creek (and schools like them) can provide . It is obvious that the childrens' past environment has failed them and they would not do well in their local public school system. Based on recent studies, close to 90% of these children who are acting out today will graduate and move on with a successful and productive life with the help of a therapeutic environment like the one RCS can provide.

It's interesting that although Len Buccellato is just now "officially" announcing "Ridge Creek School" (RCS is HLA for those of you who don't already know they just changed their name), RCS already has a sordid history of ORS violations including extreme violence, unreported incidents, police involvement, arrests, assaults, failure to follow treatment plans and a generalized underpinning of poor/unqualified staffing.
RCS has been hit with many serious ORS violations already and it sure looks like there will be plenty more to come. Parents, beware Ed Cons promoting RCS and don't fall for RCS marketing spin. They are already in serious trouble with watchdogs and they are reportedly colocated on a property where RCS principals also operate a privately run Georgia DOC juvenile lockup facility where convicted criminals are sent to do their time on a contract basis.
This is a recipe for disaster for children who need legitimate help.
