SAA Seclusion and Restraint Bill Passes Senate
By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | January 24, 2012
In floor action today, the State Senate passed 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. We anticipate the Assembly will take up the bill during the weeks of February 13th or February 20th.
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.
