Requires DOE to collect and publish data on use of restraints and seclusion on students with disabilities.
This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Education (DOE) to annually collect data from schools on the use of physical restraints and seclusion on students with disabilities. Schools must report details like the number of incidents, types of restraint/seclusion used, duration, and the student's race, gender, age, and county. The DOE must publish this anonymized data online each year, broken down by those demographic factors to ensure transparency. The bill directly affects students with disabilities by creating public accountability for restraint practices, while schools and districts must comply with the reporting requirements.
