S 1169 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

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 to annually collect data from schools about physical restraints and seclusion used on students with disabilities. Schools must report the number of incidents, types of restraint, duration, and the number of affected students. The data must be published yearly on the DOE website, broken down by county, race, gender, and age - all while protecting student privacy. The bill does not change school policies but mandates transparency about restraint use.
