HONOLULU (AP) _ Hawaii is in ``partial compliance'' with an agreement requiring the state to correct serious problems at its Youth Correctional Facility.
That's according to an 85-page report by special monitor Russell Van Vleet.
The report released Friday is the first since Vleet was hired to oversee the implementation of the agreement reached in February between the state and U-S Department of Justice.
The agreement has 53 provisions separated into five categories including: protection from harm, training, access to medical and mental health care, special education and quality improvement.
The report found the state was in partial compliance with 41 of the provisions.
Partial compliance is defined as being in compliance but still in need of substantial work.
