KANSAS CITY, Mo. — After hearing that Agape Boarding School was closing its doors, many former students and Missouri lawmakers took a moment Wednesday to celebrate.
Some said they teared up. Others said they were relieved because they had nearly given up hope that the unlicensed Cedar County school would close. Still more said the news was almost bittersweet.
“Not exactly how I wanted the doors shut, but I’ll take what I can get,” said Colton Schrag, of Texas, who attended Agape two different times from 2004 to 2010. “Regardless of how the school is closed down, no further boys will be victimized and abused by the staff at Agape.”
