AI Summary

This bill establishes new rules for how schools can use restraint, which is physically holding a student back, and seclusion, which is isolating a student in a room, on students with disabilities in public school districts and private schools approved to educate students with disabilities. It also requires the Department of Education (DOE) to gather and share information about the use of these methods and about inclusion, which means integrating students with disabilities into general education settings as much as possible.
