Provo Canyon School

Provo Canyon School, a boarding school in Springville, Utah, has had its operating license revoked by the state of Utah. This action was taken because the school reportedly "failed to provide applicable health and safety services for clients," citing multiple non-compliance issues. The revocation comes after years of allegations of abuse, notably from socialite Paris Hilton, who has been vocal about her experiences at the facility as a teenager. The state's decision, effective Monday, requires the school to cease operations unless it successfully requests a hearing within 15 days. This development highlights ongoing concerns regarding the welfare and safety standards within certain residential treatment facilities for young people and brings renewed attention to the experiences of former students.
