Ridge Creek for Sale???

"Motivated seller". Hmm... sounds like an understatement to me.

Potential employees and parents may want to heed this as a warning regarding the state of affairs at Ridge Creek Academy. Oh, I mean Ridge Creek School. Or do I mean Creekside? Or Highlands Preparatory. Gosh, it sure is hard to keep them all straight!

Excerpts from "RIDGE CREEK SCHOOL FOR SALE - ONLY 10.5 MIL - TALK ABOUT TAKING THE MONKEY OFF THE ORCC'S BACK!"
at:

Not an easy ad to contain ... even under Ridge Creek ‘Academy’ ... We sat on it, took it all in.  A hoax?

There are currently 10 positions open.  There is no Director. The facility has just been cited by the ORCC for "no Director." It has also been cited for lack of qualifications.  But not to worry, nothing will be done by the ORCC. It is not egregious.  RCS is hiring for Director of Counseling, although Anne Edens was just hired in February.  They are hiring for Director of Academics, Assistant Director of Academics, Counselor, Night Security,Reflections coordinator(interventions), Headmaster, and the Special Education teacher that the ORCC and ADvance Ed.(SACS) will also do nothing about.  It appears Advance Ed. SACS who accredits RCS did their review February of 2011 and gave the facility accolades.  If it was a thorough review there is no way they could miss those teachers that were not currently certified or that the schools certified "Visual Arts" and "Consultative Special Ed" teacher left on 01-26-2011. Regulations state "Consultative" does not qualify a teacher to be the core Special Ed. teacher.   If Ad.ED (SACS) goes back in, they'll look like fools or expose that there needs to be an overhaul of the "good ole boy" system from the top down. It appears the only people that seem to care that there is no Special Education teacher are the families of children that have 504's and IEP's.  What the heck... According to parents, last year there were no real Special Education services either. What is being reported is that the Special Needs services that the children did receive had to be fought for, if any at all. But, hey, we're talking about post Hidden Lake Academy, Ridge Creek School et al and the facility can basically do whatever they wish because there are no consequences from the state agencies.  Why?  We have a theory, but we'll table that for another day.  

Ridge Creek "Academy "… nice ... is up for sale.  If this isn’t just another “hoax”...
Why hire?
•   There is the need to keep the facility running and keep the in-take of students coming for the cash flow. Hey, it just  
        might turn around with the ‘help’ of the agencies anything is possible.
•   Is the current non-administrative staff aware of this?
•   Are current families aware of this?
•   Are prospective staff families aware of this?
              I certainly hope so.  Perhaps three months’ deposit (not held in escrow), uniforms, computer,
              etc … is good enough reason.  All non- refundable according to the current contract if one pulls
              their child.  Maybe prepaid tuition with a promise.  We had one of those.

•   If the facility sells?
              Again, you would have been better off donating to St. Judes.

•   Is the ORCC aware?
       That would be far too in-depth for the ORCC. Two years later the ORCC just might find a
       “category” to stick this in.
 
       On 08-2006 RCI was cited for 30 violations cited by the then ORS (now ORCC) 29 of “F” category
       in severity and scope; 1 of “D” category. A myriad of violations were repeat.  The class suit had
       taken flight and an investigation of Hidden Lake Academy and Ridge Creek Wilderness by the
       ORS was in progress - no thanks to the administrative staff.  There was no fine and no adverse
       action taken by the ORS.  Why send out your surveyors and agents who do their job?  Now the
       ORCC, nothing has changed, violations just keep mounting – it is just a different acronym.
 
       And that's my take.
