Expands limits on use of restraint and seclusion to all students and imposes certain data collection and training requirements on DOE.

This bill expands limits on the use of restraint and seclusion techniques to all students and imposes certain data collection and training requirements on the Department of Education (DOE). Current law imposes certain requirements on school districts, educational services commissions, and approved private schools for students with disabilities that utilize physical restraint or seclusion techniques on a student with disabilities. This bill amends that law to explicitly include charter schools.
