Democratic Bill Aims to Put Brakes on Restraint and Seclusion Practices

Democrats on Capitol Hill are seeking to ban the practice of isolating students in special rooms or otherwise secluding them in schools that receive federal funds, as well as to limit when students can be physically restrained.

The Keeping All Students Safe Act would also require schools to notify parents within 24 hours when their child has been physically restrained and require states to collect and publish data on restraint and seclusion, including reports of injuries or death.
