Prohibits the use of certain restraints and aversive interventions against students; includes policies and procedures for responding to students who have mental health crises in school safety plans; provides that no student shall be subjected to chemical restraints, mechanical restraints, or seclusion on school property; requires the board of education or trustees of each public school and school district to develop a procedure to notify the parent or legal guardian of a student on the same day a physical restraint is applied on such student, such student is placed in a time out room, or such student is subjected to a prohibited form of discipline.

The bill aims to protect students in New York schools by banning harmful practices like chemical restraints, mechanical restraints, and seclusion. It also requires schools to create safety plans that include how to help students experiencing mental health crises. Additionally, schools must inform parents or guardians on the same day if a student is physically restrained or placed in a time-out room.

Supporters of the bill argue that it prioritizes the safety and well-being of students, ensuring that they are treated with dignity and respect. By prohibiting harmful restraints and promoting mental health support, this legislation fosters a more compassionate school environment.

Critics may argue that the bill could limit teachers' ability to manage disruptive behavior effectively, potentially putting other students at risk. They might express concerns that the restrictions on restraints could hinder necessary interventions in crisis situations.
