Personally, I am deeply ambivalent about the need for therapeutic schools, and the culture within those schools (see The Lure of Gunny Therapy and my response to Elliott Curie's Road to Whatever). Boot camps aren't effective in changing kids' attitudes. However, it seems there are children who can benefit from strictly controlled environments.
The CEDU family of schools closed abruptly earlier this year. (History of CEDU). Universal Health Services purchased the Northwest properties and buildings, and are reopening the facilities with former staff.
This is good news for the hard-hit Bonners' Ferry area. I don't know if it is good news for kids in difficulties.

I apologize if this information has been addressed somewhere else, but can anyone tell me where I might find HS transcripts and diploma for CEDU? I graduated from HS in 1986.
Thank you,
Scott DeWalt

Scott, here's the deal my friend.
Your "diploma" wasn't worth more then a roll of toilet paper. Seriously!
Do yourself a favor, and study for your GED.
You got hosed by CEDU.
