Delaware County Council approves sending juvenile to Clock Tower Schools; Council member says this was a "last resort"
The former Glen Mills campus in Delaware County is planning on a fall reopening.
The district raised issues of staffing, supplies and adequate space to educate students at the currently shuttered facility by July 1, though Clock Tower representatives indicated it would not accept students until an educational piece is in place.
The Clock Tower Schools was granted a provisional license to initially operate a residential treatment program for 20 court-ordered boys — a fraction of the school’s former 400-student capacity.
The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services reached a settlement that will allow a new reform school to operate at the former Glen Mills School. Clock Tower Schools, under DHS supervision and oversight, can open for 20 court-ordered boys under a provisional license.
