Our Children Left Behind is back - Restraint & Seclusion advocacy - Pls share

[Guest guest]

Hi all!

I wanted to let you all know that Our Children Left Behind (OCLB), a

volunteer parent run group, is up and running once again! We've returned -

with

some new teammates - to address the critical issue of restraints and

seclusion in schools. This issue is receiving national attention recently, and

there is even federal legislation pending to address it.

This issue is a life and death one (literally) that affects all kids, but

especially those with disabilities (who are disproportionately

restrained/secluded in school).

Please take a look at our new home page article on this issue, and if you'd

like to stay informed on national policy and legislation involving kids

with disabilities/special education law - and especially restraint/seclusion

- please join our information-only list

(_OurChildrenLeftBehind_

(OurChildrenLeftBehind) ). (This is not a chat

list - you will not be flooded with emails.)

You can also check our website for more information:

Please share this widely - thanks for your time!
