Restraint and Time Out District Plan Dear Parents and Guardians, The State of Illinois recently updated its laws and guidance on the use of physical restraint and time out in schools. The new law requires every school district in Illinois to develop a plan to reduce and/or eliminate the use of physical restraint and time out in its schools. The district then must convene an oversight committee to review the district's plan. This oversight committee will include parents, teachers, administrators, specialists and teaching assistants who volunteer to be a part of the committee. This Oversight Committee met on May 24th, 2022 from 3:30pm-4:30pm. The role of oversight committee members was to review the plan and give feedback on its contents. The plan is now posted publicly on the district website for all parents to review and submit feedback. We are asking parents and community members to review the plan and provide feedback on this survey: RTO Plan Feedback Survey If you would like more information about the definitions of physical restraint and time out, you can click here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1llbmSlWA5Iiox_30C3ymIfFub5wRfMMS/view?usp=sharing Thank you for your partnership, Tracy Roehrick Director of Student Services
