An Indiana Senate committee heard public comment today on a bill that would require school corporations across the state to develop and publish a policy on the restraint and seclusion of children, typically involving youngsters in a special education setting.
Officials say most of the state’s school corporations have restraint policies, but they’re inconsistent and some are vague.
Senate Bill 345 would require them to include specific information, provide training for teachers and staff and publish the policies in a handbook.
