--- Quote from: "Guest3" ---There never was and never has been a 10:1 ratio of qualified teachers to students. That's a bold lie.

I provided a link to my source.
--- Quote from: "Guest3" ---How can a place call itself a College Preparatory Therapeutic Boarding School when there is no Director of Admissions, no Director of Counseling, no Headmaster, etc?
Whooter - why don't you go join the Westboro Baptist "Church" since you're so easily manipulated and gullible? Seriously - you really come off as an ignorant fool because you don't know that facts. You only know how to twist the half-truths that you see posted.

No one said they did not have a Director of Admissions, no Director of Counseling or no Headmaster. These positions may be covered by the owner(s), outsourced or covered by contractors. There are many options, maybe some positions were not needed until now .
It is indicated by your response that you have little to no experience with small businesses. When HLA switched over to RCS they had no clientele (warm bodies in beds). They could not predict accurately how many kids they would get on day one so they were not going to hire top salaried positions until they needed them.
Lets try to look at it a little differently, imagine that you want to open a car dealership (or reopen one that has closed), would you:
1) Open small and run the place yourself for a few months or years to see what type of response you had and then add on salesman and account people, mechanics as you grow.
or
2) Hire a President and Vice president in charge of sales, a regional sales manager, 3 or 4 accountants, President and vice president in charge of the "used car" part of the business etc.
Do you see what I mean Guest3? It makes good business sense to grow the business the way RCS has been doing it, which is based on present demand. If Len can roll up his sleeves and handle stepping in as department heads for a few months until he gets a "level of the water" or feels confident that enough beds are going to be filled to justify hiring people on then that is the smart thing to do.

Whooter - we're talking about human lives, not a car. There's a big difference. We're also talking about positions that are essential for a legitimate facility. These positions are revolving doors because once someone gets hired on there they realize what a farce the place is and they leave. Or, as rumored, get sexually harassed by Bucci and then given some hush money.
As for small businesses, do some research and find out how many small businesses sued Bucci for non-payment and these occurred when HLA was "thriving". Find out how many businesses he ruined....
BTW - have you ever read all the rules and regulations from Georgia's ORS as they relate to a child caring facility? You might want to some day so you can speak intelligently to those rules and regulations.

They may be. The school started over and they are obviously growing. The good news it that they are hiring and not laying off, so 2011 looks good for them.

I never read anything about that.

I am not speaking to Lens character, I dont know the guy. I am saying that RCS is doing well and thriving.

I have never met anyone who has read all the rules and regulations from Georgia's ORS. You have not convinced me (or the readers) that you have read them all either.

Guest 3 I am surprised your dialogue is allowed. Mine was deleted without notice:) I gather one cannot advise another "they are out of their league."
To the above poster... Guest 3 has read ALL the ORS regulations, along with myself, and Deborah. There was constant dialogue between the ORS and the activists aforementioned, including DJ, to tighten the loopholes in their regulations and to finally require Hidden Lake Academy that was "with purpose" "operating undar the radar and allowed to for over 11 years(at the time of ORS licensing). Documents and emails between the ORS and the aforementioned activists, also shared with the GAO agents are solid. Their findings, "all the Georgia agencies, including the Georgia GAO and the ORS repeatedly dropped the ball." Among other things. Agent recommendation " Go to the Federal Att. Gen. of Georgia."
The last exchange with the ORS in 2010, emails and the Governor's office(phone conversation) was still demanding accountability.
Guest 3 met with the GAO agents assigned to Hidden Lake Academy in Washington, D.C. and the GAO interviewed countless others by visits in Georgia and lengthy phone conversations, emails, document collection over 4 months.
Mr. Buccellato dodged their bullet, only because of the on-going Class suit in Federal court.
Jill Ryan:
Guest 3 - I am in a quandry, what say you? I really would prefer for the book to be completed before releasing all the documents and emails... but this dribble and continuous, factless, moronic diatribe needs to stop. Should we open the vault or what? "Let 'er rip?"
Oops. my attorney/agent is on the phone...divine intervention???
