Seaside district outlines safety and training systems for students with complex needs

Superintendent Susan presented the district’s approach to student and staff safety, citing board policies and an administrative regulation that govern a district safety committee and staff training. She described specific training programs: Yukuru (restraint‑reduction using pads for safer separation), SafetyCare de‑escalation strategies, job‑embedded coaching for special education classrooms, and online annual training modules covering Title IX, confidentiality and child abuse reporting. "Yukuru is a training...that is specifically on restraint‑free training if a student is...disregulated and is at risk of injuring themselves or a staff member," she said.
