this thread talks about how Cascade got started.  it sounded to me like Michael Allgood and Eric Melzer got into some sick twisted shit at CEDU and needed a fresh start someplace new.

Also, i understand how the revolution was the nail in the coffin for the school, but how did it go from  having an almost full school at 120-150 students to just 40 right before the mass refusal?

i've read rumors of out of court molestation settlements and educational consultants strongly maligning the school.  anyone know for sure why there was such a huge lack of new students?

Well I got pulled out of the program a few months before the school shut down.  So I saw the school go from 150 to less than 80.  I think I remember being at less than 60 or so for a short time and we got a new group of 10-15 kids in a two week timespan.

It was a hot topic around the school.  Everyone always said... "The school has seen this before.  It's just a phase.  With a small school its bound to happen."  Another explanation was the burst in the dot com bubble.  The economy was slumping and families didnt have as much money.

Shortly after I got there a lot of kids got kicked out or pulled after the school learned of kids stealing meds and other kids copped out to having sex/whatever.  

Some staff left suddenly at times too.  I think one guys name was Dwayne... He was bald and one day he just didnt work there anymore.  The rumor was having to do with sexual harassment.

I remember one meeting were Michael Allgood started talking about money.  I mean... he started off the meeting by talking about emotional growth and the school and everything... than he started talking a bout money.  It was very strange and many kids couldnt believe that this guy was talking to us about... money?  It seemed that many staff were not in tune with the values of the school.  Or maybe the school had only but a sliver of the values it once had.  I certainly noticed a difference in the emotional growth work from when I first arrived until I left.  People seemed to not care as much... to be bitter and detached from the school.

I just stumbled onto this forum while looking for the school's website.  I went to Cascade from 88-90.  I need for someone who went to cascade in 04 to please explain what happened.  How did Cascade crumble in a week?  How? Why?  From what I've read in this forum respect for counselors and staff was completely absent.  Will someone please explain!
