The state Department of Juvenile Services says Victor Cullen Academy violated its contract on Feb 11 when a meeting with 56 juveniles was supervised by only five staff, a 11 to 1 ratio, far above the required one per eight. Two youths faced assault charges after a fight escalated during the session. Cullen runs under Youth Services International with a $7 million contract, rising to about $8.7 million in 1996.
