Foundry hands recovery high schools the operational architecture that took years to derive the hard way — consent, documentation, outcomes, disclosure — written down, on paper, before the first day of school.
Prepared for Crosspoint Academy · School District of Waukesha · Opening Fall 2026
Crosspoint Academy opens this fall in the former STEM/Saratoga building — the second recovery high school in Wisconsin. Daily group therapy. Licensed substance use counselors. An abstinence-focused culture. A staff about to do this for the first time.
A program in that position does not need software. It needs the things nobody hands a new school: an information policy that survives a records request. A documentation spine that survives an accreditation review. An outcomes design that survives a grant renewal. A disclosure protocol that survives a hallway.
That is what Foundry builds. On paper. Before September.

The one study the field has is favorable — recovery high school students were significantly more likely to report abstinence at six months and missed less school. But one study cannot carry a sector. Districts are asked to fund thirty-thousand-dollar-per-student programs on anecdote, and recovery schools have never had the instrumentation to prove what they already know.
Foundry's founder built FORGED Recovery OS — a HIPAA-governed clinical aftercare platform for adults leaving treatment. These are the laws that system refuses to violate. Each one translates directly to a recovery high school, and none of them requires technology.
The hardest problem in a school-based recovery program is not clinical. It is informational. A minor cannot consent the way an adult can. A parent has statutory rights to education records. A sixteen-year-old who believes everything they say goes home tonight will say nothing. And federal substance-use confidentiality rules are stricter than both the education and the health privacy regimes they sit between.
A confidential space, without which they will not engage honestly.
Not a legal adult. Safety overrides exist.
Foundry's deliverable is the written policy that assigns every category of information to a party, names the consent instrument that moves it, and states what happens when someone asks for something they are not entitled to. The school needs this document in September regardless of who writes it.
| SERVICE LINE | WHAT THE DISTRICT RECEIVES |
|---|---|
| Information Architecture & Consent Policy | The records-regime map, the four-party information policy, the consent instruments, the disclosure protocol. |
| Outcomes Instrumentation & Evidence Design | Measurement design and instrument set, a clear statement of what twenty students of data can and cannot claim, and the reporting artifact for grant renewal and accreditation. |
| State-Aware Support Protocol | A paper protocol for recognizing and responding to student dysregulation — defined tiers, defined responses, defined content gating. No technology required. |
| Documentation Burden Reduction | A workflow audit of the coordinator and counselor load, redesigned forms, and a write-once reporting spine mapped to the district's systems. |
| Sustainability & Funding Architecture | The years-two-through-five funding stack, the outcomes evidence each stream requires, and joint grant-application support. |
We will not pitch software. A student-facing product for adolescents is a twelve-to-eighteen-month build with its own clinical authority, and we will not shortcut it.
We will not touch student-identifiable data. Architecture consulting does not require access to a single student record.
We will not advise on clinical treatment. Adolescent clinical authority belongs to adolescent-credentialed clinicians. We route. We do not rule.
We will not get in the way of what already works. The evidence points to the sober peer cohort as the active ingredient in a recovery school. Where technology risks displacing that, technology loses.
Twenty minutes. One conversation. Bring the list of what keeps you up at night about opening day, and we will tell you which items Foundry can take off it — and which we can't.
