JACKSON, Wyo. (AP) — A Jackson Hole group home for at-risk youths has reopened after being closed for nearly four months while the state looked into the suicide of a 16-year-old student.
The Van Vleck House group home reopened after the state issued a license to Teton Youth and Family Services, which operates the facility.
The state suspended the facility's operations when the young man died in June.
Department Deputy Director Tony Lewis says he's unable to release any information about the conclusions of the investigation for now, pending review by state attorneys.
But Lewis tells the Jackson Hole News & Guide (http://bit.ly/1OOcnKF ) that the state will monitor the facility for the next six months.
