DCYF's Statement Regarding Thurston County Superior Court Ruling
The safety of the residents and staff in DCYF facilities is most important. The decision to freeze intakes and transfer 43 young people was made in order to prioritize the safety on campus.
The ruling issued today in Thurston County Superior Court related to the transfer of 43 young people will put the safety of residents and staff at Green Hill School at risk. DCYF has requested a stay pending an emergency appeal.
Due to ongoing legal action we do not have further comment.
