Updated restraint, seclusion and weapons policies adopted

What happened

On February 24, 2026 the board adopted revised policies on the use of physical restraint and seclusion (JKAA and JKAA-R) and on weapons, violence and school safety (JICIA). Staff were also trained in the Comprehensive School Threat Assessment Guidelines.

Why it matters to families

These policies govern when staff may physically restrain or isolate a student and how threats are handled. That especially matters to families of students with disabilities.

The evidence
