I understand that was a part of SB 103 but the tide has changed and now how much more of our tax payer dollars will be wasted on a facility that's getting accredited but yet will close anyway? <br /><br />That makes as much sense as installing these high tech video cameras all over the place at VFCA, WTSS, Marlin, San Saba, and Sheffield when we all knew they were about to close or at least were on the cutting block?<br /><br />C'mon people. This is yet another example of why TYC needs additional reform without the likes of the current leadership, that is, Cherie Townsend et.al who have demonstrated nothing less than irresponsibility in their administration of juvenile justice in Texas. Townsend needs a one-way ticket to Arizona where she came from, and needs to take her General Council friend with her as well. Their performance is simply not acceptable in this state.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-21925662549637164902011-02-17T16:06:55.193-06:002011-02-17T16:06:55.193-06:00For what its worth, ACA accreditation just means y...For what its worth, ACA accreditation just means you have paid a fee and met alot of paper work requirements. Is it a lot of work, yes! Does it mean offenders are any safer, no! Does it mean the accredited facility is fiscally sound, No! <br />I guess its a nice cute sounding accomplishment please do not confuse that with better programs, improved outcomes or any of the other major problems TYC should be working on!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-542058137283081912011-02-17T13:10:23.158-06:002011-02-17T13:10:23.158-06:00I have news for you, Sheldon.

We felt like everything else you are saying you want to be at the highest level. But here we have the minimum level. We really felt this was going to come back and bite us one day,"<br />Even the Boy Scouts in the 80’s had a policy for 2 deep leadership when with a kid.<br />Again it goes back to this whole culture of not wanting outsiders to know what these tyc people are doing with the kids. Gd forbid some outsider comes to take away their most treasured job benefit, bullying/abusing the poor children who come to them for help. There is something terribly wrong with how these poor schumcks think. With the staff screwing the kids and the top officials screwing the staff. How embarrassing it must be to confess you work for tyc. Shameful. <br />Sheldon tyc#47333Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
