Restrictive procedures and seclusion requirements modifications and appropriation
This bill modifies Minnesota's requirements for restrictive procedures and seclusion in schools, directly affecting school districts and students with disabilities. It mandates that schools maintain publicly accessible plans detailing their use of restrictive procedures, including positive behavior strategies, de-escalation training, and oversight committee reviews. The bill also requires schools to notify parents within two days of any restrictive procedure use and mandates meetings to review seclusion data and modify behavior plans when procedures are used frequently. Additionally, it specifies which trained professionals may legally apply these procedures and requires districts to document any medical or psychological limitations that contraindicate their use.
