Board begins review of student restraint policy
What happened
On Oct 20, 2026 the board scheduled the first reading of policy JKA, which covers when staff may physically restrain students, with regulation JKA-R and an incident report form (JKA-E). This is a proposal under consideration.
Why it matters to families
The policy sets limits on physical restraint and requires a report when it is used.
The evidence
The Oct 20 agenda lists first readings of JKA, JKA-R and JKA-E. The Sept 28 minutes say the regional service unit was focusing on seclusion and restraint policies and had completed safety-care training.
