Overview
This bill requires the New Jersey Department of Education (DOE) to systematically track and publicly report data on the use of physical restraints and seclusion techniques on students with disabilities. The DOE will collect information from school districts, educational service commissions, and private schools regarding the frequency, type, and duration of these interventions, as well as the number of students affected. This data will be published annually on the DOE’s website, broken down by county and demographic factors like race, gender, and age, while protecting student privacy.
