  • 1. The division shall operate and maintain
      secure,  limited secure and non-secure facilities for the care, custody,
      treatment, housing, education,  rehabilitation  and  guidance  of  youth
      placed with or committed to the division.
        2.  Each  separate  facility  may  bear  the  name,  designated by the
      division, of an individual known for outstanding service to youth.
        3. A youth attending a local public school while  in  residence  at  a
      division  facility  shall  be  deemed  a resident of the school district
      where the youth's parent or guardian resides at the commencement of each
      school year for the purpose of determining which school  district  shall
      be responsible for the youth's tuition.
        4.  The  division  shall determine the particular division facility or
      program in which a child placed with the division shall  be  cared  for,
      based  upon  an  evaluation  of such child. The division shall also have
      authority to discharge or conditionally release children placed with  it
      and  to  transfer  such  children  from  a  limited secure or non-secure
      facility to any other limited secure or non-secure  facility,  when  the
      interest  of  such  children requires such action; provided that a child
      transferred to a non-secure facility from a limited secure facility  may
      be  returned  to  a  limited secure facility upon a determination by the
      division that, for any reason, care  and  treatment  at  the  non-secure
      facility is no longer suitable.
