PROGRAM MONITORING
Judith A. Mayer, Administrator
(410) 333-6868

Program Monitoring began as separate units for
residential and nonresidential monitoring. These
units were combined as Residential and Nonresi-
dential Monitoring in 1993. Later, in July of 1993,
the unit was renamed Program Monitoring.
To ensure compliance with licensing regulations,
Program Monitoring oversees those private firms
licensed by the Department of Juvenile Services to
provide residential services for troubled youth.
Those providers also under contract with the De-
partment are monitored for contract compliance.
Every fiscal year, a formal licensing or program
audit is conducted for each licensed facility.
In addition to the annual audit, Program Moni-
toring develops a plan to monitor the unique char-
acteristics and needs of each licensed program.
Program Monitoring visits each site to check physi-
cal plants; conduct investigations; follow up on
corrective action for compliance; interview staff and
students; and observe programs.

CHARLES H. HICKEY, JR., SCHOOL

Richard Singleton, Superintendent

2400 Cub Hill Road
Baltimore, MD 21234 (410) 668-3300

The Charles H. Hickey, Jr., School originated in
1850 as the House of Refuge on Frederick Avenue
in Baltimore City (Chapter 374, Acts of 1849). In
1910, renamed as Maryland School for Boys, the
School moved to its present site near Loch Raven
in northern Baltimore County. In 1918, it became
Maryland Training School for Boys (Chapter 300,
Acts of 1918). The School's present name, adopted
in 1985, honors a former Baltimore County sheriff
(Chapter 245, Acts of 1985).
The School serves as a detention center for youth
awaiting trial and as a training school for young people
committed by the court. The School cares for and treats
delinquent youth between the ages of 15 and 17 (Code
1957, Art. 83C, sec. 2-117). Since September 1991,
the School has been run by private firms under contract
with the Department of Juvenile Services.

Opened in September 1992, Victor Cullen Acad-

in northwest Frederick County. The Academy, a State
facility, is operated by a private firm under contract with

The Academy's origins date to 1908 when the
State Sanatorium for tuberculosis patients was es-

tablished on the site. Placed under the Department
of Health, the Sanatorium was renamed in 1949 as
Victor Cullen State Hospital after Victor F. Cullen,
M.D., a former member of the State Board of
Health. The Hospital was reorganized in 1965 as
the Victor Cullen School, a training or reform
school for boys under the State Department of
Public Welfare (Chapter 818, Acts of 1965). The
School was transferred in 1967 to the Juvenile
Services Administration, and in 1974, as the Victor
Cullen Center, to what became the Developmental
Disabilities Administration of the Department of
Health and Mental Hygiene. The Center closed in
1991 and reopened as the Victor Cullen Academy
in 1992 under the Department of Juvenile Services.
