SAA Seclusion & Restraint Bill Clears Assembly
By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | March 13, 2012
In floor action today, the Assembly concurred in Senate Bill 353, relating to the use of seclusion and restraint techniques in the public schools. The SAA worked very hard with the DPI and other interested stakeholders to develop a consensus bill that has the support of educators as well as parent-advocates. The bill builds from the current practice of the DPI guidelines to help provide staff with clarity of operation and parents with transparency of proceedings. The bill passed the Senate on January 24th. Governor Walker is expected to sign the bill into law.
We would like to thank the authors of the bill, Senator Luther Olsen (R-Ripon) and Representative Steve Kestell (R-Elkhart Lake) for bringing this legislation forward.
