Shrub Oak School for Autistic Youth: $573K Tuition, Broken Promises and Oversight Failures
No state agency has authority over Shrub Oak International School, one of the country’s most expensive therapeutic boarding schools at about $573,200 a year. The for-profit school in New York for autistic youth opened in 2018 with grand promises: beautiful dorms, an indoor therapy pool, an equestrian stable, a restaurant-quality kitchen, sophisticated security, round-the-clock care and cutting-edge education for students with autism from around the world.
Some of those promises never materialized. There’s still no kitchen.
A ProPublica investigation — based on records from school districts, court documents and interviews with nearly 30 families and just as many workers — found accusations of possible abuse and neglect: bruises on students’ bodies, medication mix-ups, urine-soaked mattresses and deficient staffing. Many parents and workers, armed with confidential documents and photos of student injuries, described their futile efforts to get authorities to intervene.

In part 2 of our investigation, we headed to Illinois to understand how school districts in the state become the largest out-of-state feeder for Shrub Oak. Read the full story: https://propub.li/3UKd5iu
