Weeks after a large brawl broke out at a St. George school for troubled youth, state officials are saying Red Rock Canyon School needs to make more than a dozen significant changes — or risk losing its license.
Staffing problems have led to violence and sexual misconduct and have left staffers and residents feeling unsafe, according to a scathing letter from the Department of Human Services dated May 9.
The latest incident was an April 28 riot involving at least a dozen students, a fight that ended with several injuries. But DHS officials say the school did not report the brawl until days later — just one of nine violations outlined in the letter.
