This bill proposes several updates to the current statutes regarding student discipline, specifically focusing on the use of restraint and seclusion techniques in schools. The bill modifies the language in section 15-105 by changing the term "permit" to "allow" in subsection A, and revising the phrasing in subsection C from "the use of" to "using." Additionally, it clarifies that the review of strategies for addressing a pupil's dangerous behavior must include an analysis of how to avoid future incidents, specifically noting the potential need for a functional behavioral assessment.

Furthermore, the bill introduces new provisions that establish a formal complaint process for alleged violations of the updated requirements. It allows any person to submit a written complaint to the department, which must investigate and, if a violation is found, require involved school personnel to complete training on proper restraint and seclusion techniques. The bill outlines specific violations that would trigger this process, including improper use of restraint or seclusion techniques and failure to adhere to established policies and procedures.
