Ridge Creek "School" - Unpaid Staff and Resident Riot
Jill Ryan:
You've got that right. ACCESS NORTH GEORGIA has a tip section online.
The Dahlonega Nugget - The article was in the paper, but was not "front page," so it did not make the online "cut", I am told. Obviously most beneficial for Ridge Creek.
If one wishes to order a "paper copy" they can do so by calling the Nugget.
Onlytruth:
Chris and Len continue to lie to parents and this letter is just one example. Funny how Len stated in the Nugget that this was not a major incident. Does that mean this kind of stuff happens all the time? Is this the norm? What a joke! Len and Chris both have high self-efficacy and low competence which makes for very dangerous leadership. If you are a parent of a student at Ridge Creek, I urge you to withdraw you child before they are subject to any more abuse. I am telling you the staff have no training and do not know how to deal with the students. Several well trained and very competent staff have worked at Ridge Creek, but due to the poor leadership from Len and Chris, they have quit or been let go. I know several staff who did great things for Ridge Creek, but were let go because they stood up to Len and Chris and demanded positive change. Len and Chris's ego could not handle it. I feel sorry for the students. Please, Please get those students out of Ridge Creek before someone really gets hurt.

Everything about RCS is a LIE. Any parents considering this place or have a child there should read and listen to the people on this page.
Take your child out........I did.
Jill Ryan:
Well, if you paid advanced tuition....good luck ...

Horse, can you scan the article and post it here???
--- Quote from: "RCSworkhorse" ---I am not sure anyone made mention of the article published in The Dahlonega Nugget on 1/26/11. I was unable to find a link on the Nugget website...sorry! Anyhow it was Police Officer Darren Martin's account of the incident. Essentialy it sounds like early in the day on 1/16 a majority of the student body threatened to initiate a mass walk-out. Apparently the majority of the students did not follow through however it appears a group of students not only walked out but caused a massive amount of property damage. Students were breaking into buildings attempting to access phones, throwing rocks, breaking windows and the police officer stated the Student Activity Center was completely trashed! A few students even went so far as to break into a near by church in attempts to access a phone.
Another piece of notable info mentioned in the article was that 4 students were picked up by police on 1/15 for loitering at the Dahlonega Walmart at 4am. It turned out that they were Ridge Creek Runaways...and no one at RCS bothered to inform the police...it is their written P&P to do so. Even if a student if older than 18 it is required according to RCS policy that the shift leader contact police, as a courtesy if the are 18 or older OR to file missing persons if under age.
'
In the paper Len Buccelato's was reported stating it was "not a major incident" and went on to say "the campus is operating as usual"....that's the issue folks...this kind of stuff has become status quo at RCS. If these kind of incidents are considered "business as usual" is this really a safe place for students or staff???
This whole thing is so sad...the campus has so much potential...if only the leadership was different!
