Whitaker School is an 18-bed, long-term treatment program for emotionally handicapped adolescents, ages 13-17, who may also possess secondary conditions which require special treatment and care. Adolescents can stay up to a year in this non-medical alternative education and treatment program, which serves all 100 counties. There is no cost for education since children are entitled to a free and appropriate public education. There is also currently no cost for the treatment part of the program.
Starting in February 2008, this page will contain investigations and reports that reflect the performance of this facility.
