Keeping All Students Safe Act

Bill 111 HR 4247, also known as the Keeping All Students Safe Act, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress with the aim of protecting students from abusive practices in schools. The bill specifically targets the use of seclusion and restraint techniques on students, which have been found to be harmful and even deadly in some cases.

The bill prohibits the use of seclusion and restraint in schools, except in cases of emergency where there is a threat of harm to the student or others. It also requires schools to develop and implement policies to prevent the use of these techniques, as well as to provide training to staff on alternative methods of behavior management.

Additionally, the bill requires schools to report any incidents of seclusion or restraint to parents, as well as to state education agencies. This transparency is intended to hold schools accountable for their actions and ensure that students are not subjected to unnecessary harm. Overall, the Keeping All Students Safe Act aims to create a safer and more supportive environment for students in schools, by prohibiting the use of harmful seclusion and restraint techniques and promoting positive behavior management strategies.
