Summit Pointe is looking for heroes willing to temporarily open their homes to struggling teens in the community.
Calhoun County s provider of mental health care and substance-use disorder services has launched an innovative program where adolescents primarily ages 12 to 17 live at a therapeutic home for a period of six to nine months while receiving intensive counseling. Parents or guardians also receive counseling during this period before receiving their child back at the conclusion of the program.
The program, still in its infancy, is seeking its first therapeutic parent to take in a child and become a licensed part of the care team, with a financial reimbursement of $92.59 per day. No prior experience is required, only an open bedroom.

With barely any comment, the Philadelphia Board of Education unanimously denied five new charter school applications Thursday after hearing scathing critiques of all of them from the district’s reviewers.
Christina Grant, head of the district’s charter school office, described all of the applications as deficient either in their planned academic program, operations, finances, or evidence of community support sometimes in all four areas. The office doesn’t directly recommend denial or approval, but these evaluations had few positive things to say.
