Thank you to the ORCC documents of late, Marla McGhee, former Special Education teacher at Hidden Lake Academy(HLA), now Ridge Creek School(RCS) has been vindicated and it's a long overdue. She was forced into silence for blowing the whistle on HLA, receiving a cease and desist, and threatened with a lawsuit. Although she was silenced her written word reverberates through our minds. Like those after her, Clarke Poole(Admissions HLA), Cheryl Tantangelo (Director of Counseling RCS, depending on the day, apparently lost her position for speaking out to parents - ORCC report), Dr. Horwitz (tending psychiatrist) all spoke out against admission of inappropriate students to the school. According to Dr. Horwitz, an argument ensued with XXX, Horwitz refused to take children off their medications, citing ethics and his oath. Dr. Horwitz sent a letter to parents. Dr. Consuelo Reddick took over, but did not last, reports floated that she was worried about her license. They too, were history; another threatened with a cease & desist and a lawsuit.
The pattern of accepting inappropriate students (continuing after licensing and name change to RCS), against the schools own set guidelines for admissions is clear. The school shall continue these inappropriate admissions until the ORCC stops them, or a child, or staff member dies.
