 Preliminary Transition
Plan Planning for the
Downsizing and Closure of
Fircrest School, A State
Residential Habilitation Center
This Preliminary
Transition Report is in response to the 2003 legislative session
directive to downsize Fircrest
School by four cottages during the 2003-05 Biennium and develop a
transition plan for Fircrest School.
The declining census in the States
Residential Habilitation Centers (RHC) system, brought about by
the continued trend toward
community placements, makes the operation of five RHCs
prohibitively expensive. The
legislative initiative for continued downsizing of Fircrest School
makes it the logical candidate
for closure.
