In the latest development of Ta’afulisia v. Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF) we wanted to provide an important update regarding the ongoing situation with the 43 class members currently affected.
On Monday morning, Judge Egeler denied DCYF’s request for a stay of her July 23rd Preliminary Injunction and for an extension in the amount of time DCYF would have to transfer the 43 class members back to Green Hill School. By Monday afternoon, DCYF filed a notice of appeal to the Court of Appeals, along with a motion for emergency stay asking the appellate court to order a stay pending consideration of their motion for discretionary review. We filed our response to their motion for emergency stay on Tuesday, July 30th. Wednesday morning, we received an order from the Court of Appeals denying DCYF’s request for an emergency stay so DCYF must comply with the Preliminary Injunction and transfer the impacted class members back to Green Hill School by 5PM this Friday, 8/2.
We continue to fight to make sure DCYF follows our agreement and provides due process for those at Green Hill School.
