Sagewalk Responds to Posted Article

The below is a statement from SageWalk in response to a posting of the article titled "Investigator calls wilderness school reckless in teen's death" on strugglingteens.com yesterday:

The circumstances surrounding the death of one of our students on August 28 are part of an ongoing investigation. We maintain that we took every step possible to ensure the safety of this student, as we have every student over the course of our 12 year history, and disagree with the Lake County Sheriff's Deputy's view of the events. We expect that, once all the facts are known, they will show us to have acted carefully and responsibly, and we will be fully vindicated.

We do not have further details of the investigation but remain confident in our reputation and adherence to the highest standards of care. Should more information become available, we will update you.
