Suicide Prevention. ▪ The facility is in substantial compliance with 4 of the 7 provisions (57%) related to suicide prevention, and is in partial compliance with the remaining 3 provisions (43%). ▪ The facility has established procedures for supervising youth at-risk of self-harm (i.e., those in seclusion, and all youth when locked in their rooms overnight). However, these procedures have not been implemented consistently, as documents revealed insufficient numbers of checks or excessive delays between checks. ▪ Documentation of supervision of youth on suicide precautions needs to be better maintained. Require procedures to verify the safety of youth on precautions were not followed consistently. Improving shift commanders’ skill in identifying errors and providing immediate feedback and guidance to staff will capitalize on recent improvements in shift commanders’ oversight of assigned staff on each shift. ▪ The State has expended considerable resources to rectify the various environmental safety hazards detailed in the DOJ’s Findings Letter. All of these modifications continue to be in place. Mental Health ▪ The facility is in substantial compliance with all 6 of the provisions (100%) related to mental health. Special Education ▪ The State is in substantial compliance with 2 of the 5 provisions (40%) related to special education and in partial compliance with 3 provisions (60%). There were no non-compliance ratings in this area. ▪ Though progress is evident from the prior reporting period, certain units remain plagued by late arrival to school or non-attendance due to direct care staff shortages. ▪ New screening procedures have been developed, but need additional review and refinement to ensure they are useful in planning instruction for students, particularly those with low intake assessment scores and those with large numbers of behavior reports. Quality Assurance ▪ The State is in substantial compliance with each of the 4 provisions (100%) related to quality assurance. ▪ The Office of Quality Assurance and Accountability is an important asset in promoting compliance with the Agreement.
