relative to the use of child restraints in schools.

HB 1269 strengthens safety and accountability measures for schools by requiring that any use of seclusion or restraint be continuously monitored by trained staff. The bill mandates that these incidents be recorded with audio and video if the student's individualized education plan includes such accommodations, and it ensures parents or guardians are notified promptly after an incident occurs. Additionally, the legislation clarifies that recordings made for disciplinary purposes must be preserved as part of the official record. These changes aim to increase transparency and oversight regarding how schools handle student behavioral interventions.
