Senator Murray, Colleagues Introduce Legislation to Protect Students from Dangerous Seclusion and Restraint Practices

Press Release

"No student should be locked alone in a room away from their classmates or forcibly restrained in a dangerous way. It's time we finally ban these dangerous discipline practices in our schools--and that's exactly what our commonsense bill does. I'm proud to reintroduce the Keeping All Students Safe Act to protect students across our country from these unacceptable practices. We know that students with disabilities, students of color, and boys are disproportionately hurt by these practices, and I am going to keep pushing to get our bill signed into law to help ensure every kid can learn in a safe, nurturing environment."
