Pupil discipline: restraint.

Abstract

Existing law requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to develop, and the State Board of Education to adopt, regulations governing the use of behavioral interventions with individuals with exceptional needs receiving special education and related services. This bill would prohibit an educational provider from using physical restraint, as defined, on a pupil who is an individual with exceptional needs for the purpose of coercion, punishment, convenience, or retaliation by staff, or as an extended procedure beyond an immediate emergency, and would specify conditions under which an educational provider would be authorized to use physical restraint. The bill would also prohibit an educational provider from using chemical restraint, as defined, except as otherwise licensed to prescribe and administer medication, or mechanical restraint, as defined.
