GLACIER MOUNTAIN ED. SERVICES TROUBLE
(March 10, 2002)  Susan Drumheller reported about Glacier Mountain Educational Services, Cocolalla, Idaho, owned and operated by John Baisden, in the Spokesman-Review on Feb. 23, 2002 and March 10, 2002. Her article stated their foster care license has been revoked by the state Department of Health and Welfare. Bonner County filed a complaint that his facility has been operating without a conditional use permit, and it is under investigation by the Attorney General for false advertising and by the Bonner County Prosecutor for failure to report a crime.

GLACIER MOUNTAIN ACADEMY CRITICIZED
(March 10, 2002)  Susan Drumheller, who has yet to write a positive article on any of the North Idaho Emotional Growth/Therapeutic schools and programs, reports that Glacier Mountain Academy, owned and run by Larry Bauer, , has a county complaint filed against him that “he is operating a school without a conditional use permit.”  Glacier Mountain Academy is licensed as a foster home with the state and is also accredited through the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges as a Special Purpose School.  Larry Bauer, for unnamed reasons, totally separated himself in 1999 from John Baisden, who now operates Glacier Mountain Educational Services, which has several problems currently. Even so, the Drumheller article quotes a critical parent letter from 1998, which was really against the old corporation.  Larry Bauer, on March 8, in response to county concerns, had moved academic classes to another location in Ponderay, “in order to comply with Bonner County Planning and Zoning.”
