** " THE PROJECTED INCOME FROM RCW AND CREEKSIDE WAS TO BE 75,000. PER MONTH PROGRAM AND CAN BE ACTIVATED IN TWO DAYS WITH MINIMAL OPERATIONAL COST."
NICE JOB ORS.. DO THE FAMILIES PLACING THEIR CHILDREN AT RIDGE CREEK SCHOOL KNOW THIS? DO THE ED. CONS KNOW THIS?
DOES THE TOWN COUNCIL KNOW THIS?
These are good questions, Jill.
RCS apparently has a contract with the state to take DJJ offenders at RCS, but RCS doesn't tell prospective parents that their kids will be housed with adjudicated criminals form the Department of Juvenile Justice. These kids may be killers, rapists, pedophiles or what-have-you and will be housed in the same dorms as your kids, parents.
This is no school. This is a detention center.
