Wellspring International Education, LLC — Chapter 11 reorganization petition filed Oct 26, 2026.

Background on Chapter 11: Chapter 11 is designed to give a company breathing room: creditors are stayed, the debtor keeps operating, and a plan of reorganization — or a section 363 sale — decides how claims get paid.

This page reflects the petition filed on Oct 26, 2026. Later docket events (dismissal, conversion, plan confirmation, final decree, closing) are added when they appear in the court's public RSS feed, which not every court publishes in full, so the absence of such an event here does not mean the case is still open.
