    Citing integrity, it appears certain staff had an epiphany and could no longer tell parents to send their children to Ridge Creek School.  Integrity?  Keeping ones mouth shut and leaving the children behind does not absolve you in any way, shape, or form.

    They also failed to mention that three students walked off campus and went missing on the day of the 16th. A lot of things go unreported there.


    "A lot of things go unreported there."    So if there were over sixty - 911 calls in two years, including EMS, how many incidents managed to stay in house?

    Did it ever dawn on those staff that have left RCS  because of their "integrity" that the honorable action to take is to offer a reality check to the ORCC?

    More staff have left - Shaun Pelley  Assistant Director of Recreation.  A couple of low level staff quit.

    Hiring night staff to replace them, if anyone is interested....

    Chris Grimwood is gone along with his bogus MSW.   He served his purpose well.  His letter was classic, Charlie Sheen-esque and what a way to go.

    Clay Erickson has been gone for awhile, along with his MD that he will never again be forced to "use," because it is "good for marketing."  Clay has a kind heart and many more than not, wish him well.
