Heritage Center Has
Extensive Recreational Opportunities
Ramond Vabriskie, who has been with Heritage Center in Provo,
Utah for one and a half years, has developed extensive recreational
opportunities for the 81 students (as of mid-March). The belief

basketball, and a lot of hiking and camping to name a few
of their activities. They also have an equestrian program

Illinois More Reluctant
to Approve School District Funding

School District funding of private, out-of-state placement
in Special Purpose programs than it was in past years.
Eagle Mountain Outpost
Doesn't Have Set Graduation Times
Eagle Mountain Outpost, in North Idaho, does not have set
group graduation times. Instead, each boy graduates when he
is ready with a couple friends, family, and key staff at a
dinner-graduation ceremony. In program improvement, the school's
playing field should be ready by this summer, and their science
teacher is on an one month sabbatical to update their experiential
education program.
