AN ACT PERMITTING BOARDS OF EDUCATION TO SELECT WHICH SCHOOL PERSONNEL SHALL COMPLETE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND IN-SERVICE TRAINING RELATING TO THE RESTRAINT AND SECLUSION OF STUDENTS.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly convened:

That chapters 166 and 170 of the general statutes be amended to permit local and regional boards of education to select which school personnel shall complete professional development and in-service training relating to the restraint and seclusion of students, in accordance with the provisions of section 10-236b of the general statutes.

Statement of Purpose: 

To allow boards of education to determine the appropriate professionals who should be trained in the restraint and seclusion of students, rather than requiring all staff to complete such training.
