1995 Tornado

Two students and one staff member were killed in the 1995 Great Barrington tornado when their van was picked up by the tornado and thrown 1,000 feet into a wooded ditch. Reports say that the occupants were not strapped in and that no redirection was given for the students to put on their seat belts. Subsequently, the victim's families sued the school but charges were later dropped. A chapel was built onsite to honor those who died.[2]

2016 assault case and closure

In January 2016, five employees were charged with an assault on a student. Four additional staff were also fired for abusive actions.[3] As result of the incident, the school's license to operate was revoked by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and the school shut down in April, 2016.[4][5]

gollark: Slash commands. It's a Discord feature which exists.
gollark: > Global commands are cached for 1 hour. That means that new global commands will fan out slowly across all guilds, and will be guaranteed to be updated in an hour.That isn't inconvenient at all.
gollark: > Slash Commands and Interactions bring something entirely new to the table: the ability to interact with an application without needing a bot user in the guild. As you read through this documentation, you'll see that bot tokens are only referenced as a helpful alternative to doing a client credentials auth flow. Slash Commands do not depend on a bot user in the guild; responding to interactions does not require a bot token.Oh 🐝❗
gollark: Hmm, I think I'll turn on all the privileged intents to spite them.
