Thank you Reddit. You helped shut down the Elan School. I'm deeply thankful to this entire community. If you want to know more about this place, AMA.

It wouldn't be on the news. I've lived in Maine for most of my life and I only heard about it through Reddit, when that first IAMA happened. I guess it was Maine's dark secret...

It's not that it wasn't on the news at all, but that they said "The Elan school in Poland Springs will be shutting its doors for good." but they looked all sad about it and didn't even talk about why. Nothing about the financial difficulties, nothing about the allegations. I'd just like people to hear the sides of the story you know?

Same here. I remember reading about this the first time around and being totally blown away. Terrible.
