In fact we met with the entire AdvoServ Admin team yesterday for three hours. I am sure they would share with you what we discussed, in addition to providing you with our written communication, their responses and action plans. I am sorry but I am not sure I could meet with you to discuss their business without them being present or without their permission to do so. If Kelly McCran requests a meeting with the three of us, I would be more than happy to meet. Please let me know.

One of my clients represents Advoserv. As I'm sure you are aware, they have been providing alternative opportunities for students who may not be able to stay in traditional school settings. I'm trying to determine if Advoserv needs to do more in providing their services or if they might need to change something to more accurately re?ect what the state requires. For whatever reason, the ICT is not opting for Advoserv to provide necessary services as frequently as they once did. I would love to meet with you to ?nd out if there's anything I can tell my client to help them improve their service. If a meeting is possible I'll try my best to meet at a time convenient to your busy schedule. Thank you for your help in this matter.

They HAVE gotten new referrals. I wish they would own the problems they caused for themselves and acknowledge the inordinate amount of time we have devoted to them to help them remain open! They did close one residence but have multiple open along with adults beyond 21. I am getting fussy.
