What happened

Staff reported eight seclusion incidents involving seven students in LCPS comprehensive schools during 2024–25. Two occurred after the district prohibited seclusion in February 2025. Staff said they reviewed the incidents and retrained staff as needed.

Why it matters to families

The report shows that a prohibited practice still occurred. No school was named, so the record does not identify an incident at Rock Ridge.

The evidence

In the annual restraint and seclusion report, staff expressly identified two post-ban incidents. They said staff had described safety risks. Separate private-placement figures are not included here.
