Re: FW: Documented cases of restraint and seclusion in schools needed for govmt. agency

[Guest guest]

You can also report cases of restraint and/or seclusion that were not documented

by court or due process cases to COPAA--

CATEGORY 2: Other Situations--no filed case or hearing.

COPAA is also seeking information about any other situations in which children

were subject to restraints, seclusion, or aversives but a case or due

process/administrative hearing was not filed. We have set up a computerized

survey form for you to report it. We will be sharing this information with the

GAO and as otherwise explained in the survey. This computerized form simply

allows us to collect all of the information together and sort it so that we can

do this quickly. If you wish to complete the survey, click here
