District reports six restraints involving four students in annual restraint-and-seclusion report
Summary
Board reviewed the annual restraint-and-seclusion report showing six restraints involving four students; members credited de-escalation strategies for low figures and discussed staff safety and preparing data for legislators.
The board reviewed the district's annual restraint-and-seclusion report and discussed next steps for data sharing and staff training.
"We had 6 restraints, 4 different students," the presiding officer reported during the item, noting the district's numbers were among the lower totals the board has seen. Board members attributed the low numbers to de-escalation practices and recommended including the restraint data and related safety measures in future program reports.
Members discussed timing for sharing data with legislators, suggesting that a fuller data package by early 2027 would be useful if the district plans to inform lawmakers. The board also raised staff-safety concerns and discussed presenting additional program-level information at a joint meeting or during a future session.
