Keeping All Students Safe Act
This bill prohibits the use of "unlawful seclusion or restraint" in schools receiving federal funding, including mechanical, chemical, and certain physical restraints that pose risks to students. It requires schools to implement positive behavioral interventions instead of restraint, mandates staff training in crisis intervention, and establishes procedures for reporting and following up after restraint incidents. The bill requires states to create monitoring plans and collect detailed data on restraint use, with specific reporting requirements for schools and Head Start programs. Schools must provide immediate parent notification after restraint incidents and hold meetings to discuss prevention strategies. The bill applies to public schools, special education schools, and other federally funded programs, but does not affect private schools not receiving federal support or home schools.
