AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 14 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO USE OF SECLUSION AND RESTRAINT IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Based on national reports documenting misuse of seclusion and restraint within public schools, many states are adopting remedial statutory or regulatory standards. In 2012, the U.S. Department of Education issued authoritative guidance encouraging states to adopt written standards deterring use of seclusion and restraint in public schools. This bill is the product of research and deliberations of an interagency committee formed by the Governor’s Advisory Council for Exceptional Citizens (GACEC) to identify best practices and develop standards for Delaware public schools.
