HB 2885 - DIGEST

Declares that, as used in this act, "containment room" means a room, space, or facility, other than a school principal's office, separate and apart from the classroom where the student receives the majority of daily instruction, in which the student is isolated from the rest of the school population for the purpose of student discipline or behavioral intervention.

Provides that, by September 1, 2004, within existing resources, the board of directors of each school district, if a containment room is used in any school facility in the district, shall adopt a policy regarding the use of such rooms. The policy required under this act shall be provided to parents annually.
