Now that the Kentucky Board of Education has adopted final revisions to 704 KAR 7:160 – the new rules regarding physical restraint and seclusion of students – school personnel are looking for answers on how the regulation will affect them when classes start this fall.
KSBA has scheduled a full day of legal and policy training regarding the new regulation on Monday, July 15 at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Lexington.
This training will flesh out the Kentucky statutes that are cited in the regulation that concern the type of property damage and disruption for which students can be restrained. This session also will provide districts tips about what information needs to be recorded on incident reports, what needs to be documented during a debriefing session and other topics including:
• When should staff physically restrain/seclude students?
• The meaning of references to KRS Chapter 503 in the Restraint and Seclusion Regulation
• Documenting the incident
• The debriefing session
• The complaint process
• KSBA Model Policy and Procedure
Staff presenters include Teresa Combs, director of KSBA’s Legal and Administrative Training service; John Fogle III, KSBA staff attorney; and members of the KSBA Policy Service team.
