S - Students Restrained or Isolated File 2024-2025

Introduction

This file contains information about students who are restrained or isolated and any staff injured during those incidents of students restrained or isolated. Restraint is defined as physical intervention or force used to control a student, including the use of a restraint device to restrict a student’s freedom of movement. It does not include the appropriate use of a prescribed medical, orthopedic, or therapeutic device when used as intended, such as to achieve proper body position, balance, or alignment, or to permit a student to safely participate in activities. Physical restraint does not include the touching or holding of a student without the use of force for the purpose of directing or assisting the student in an activity. The term physical restraint does not include a physical escort which is temporary touching or holding of the student's hand, wrist, arm, shoulder, or back for the purpose of inducing a student to walk to a safe location.
