Would he actually try to operate "under the radar" again, after all of this?

ANOTHER THOUGHT - THE ORS, BJ BAKER and CO. will be happy as pigs in a sty if RCS turns Traditional Boarding School.  This lets the ORS off the hook for accountability in allowing this debacle to continue throughout the years.  Not that the ORS was ever accountable.

We all remember when the Investigators with the DHS worked tirelessly to put an end to this all ... but the upper echelon, in the words of the GAO, "dropped the ball."  Perhaps, it was too hot, so they threw it.

Curious coincidence regarding soon to be Headmaster Kevin Miller:

      Curry College, Milton, MA Faculty, Program for the Advancement of Learning (PAL)

Curry College... isn't that where John Reuben's (surviving) son went?

I want to know what Georgia considers a "bona fide" boarding school???? I think they're going to try to sneak in the troubled youth aspect based on the school's application, which I've attached.
