3    Sec. 2-3.130. Isolated time out, time Time out, and
4physical restraint rules; grant program; third-party
5assistance; goals and plans.
6    (a) For purposes of this Section, "isolated time out",

10governing the use of isolated time out, time out, and physical
11restraint in the public schools and special education
12nonpublic facilities under Section 14-7.02 of this Code. The
13rules shall include provisions governing the documentation and
14reporting recordkeeping that is required each time these
15interventions when physical restraint or more restrictive
16forms of time out are used.
17    The rules adopted by the State Board shall include a
18procedure by which a person who believes a violation of
19Section 10-20.33 or 34-18.20 has occurred may file a
20complaint. The rules adopted by the State Board shall include
21training requirements that must be included in training
22programs used to train and certify school personnel.

10200SB2296sam001- 22 -LRB102 15797 CMG 24551 a

1out, time out, and physical restraint established by rule,
2which shall include meaningful and appropriate sanctions for
3the failure to comply, including the failure to report to the
4parent or guardian and to the State Board, the failure to
5timely report, and the failure to provide detailed
6documentation.
7    (c) Subject to appropriation, the State Board shall, by
8adoption of emergency rules under subsection (rr) of Section
95-45 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act if it so
10chooses, create a grant program for school districts, special
11education nonpublic facilities under Section 14-7.02 of this
12Code, and special education cooperatives to implement
13school-wide, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed
14practices, positive behavioral interventions and supports, and
15restorative practices within a multi-tiered system of support
16aimed at reducing the need for interventions, such as isolated
17time out, time out, and physical restraint.
18    (d) Subject to the Illinois Procurement Code, the Illinois
19School Student Records Act, the Mental Health and
20Developmental Disabilities Confidentiality Act, and the
21federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, the
22State Board may contract with a third party to provide
23assistance with the oversight and monitoring of the use of
24isolated time out, time out, and physical restraint by school
25districts.
26    (e) The State Board shall establish goals within 90 days

 

 

10200SB2296sam001- 23 -LRB102 15797 CMG 24551 a

1after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 102nd
2General Assembly, with specific benchmarks, for schools to
3accomplish the systemic reduction of isolated time out, time
4out, and physical restraint within 3 years after the effective
5date of this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly. The
6State Board shall engage in meaningful consultation with
7stakeholders to establish the goals, including in the review
8and evaluation of the data submitted. Each school board shall
9create a time out and physical restraint oversight team that
10includes, but is not limited to, teachers, paraprofessionals,
11school service personnel, and administrators to develop (i) a
12school-specific plan for reducing and eventually eliminating
13the use of isolated time out, time out, and physical restraint
14in accordance with the goals and benchmarks established by the
15State Board and (ii) procedures to implement the plan
16developed by the team.
17    The progress toward the reduction and eventual elimination
18of the use of isolated time out and physical restraint shall be
19measured by the reduction in the overall number of incidents
20of those interventions and the total number of students
21subjected to those interventions. In limited cases, upon
22written application made by a school district and approved by
23the State Board based on criteria developed by the State Board
24to show good cause, the reduction in the use of those
25interventions may be measured by the frequency of the use of
26those interventions on individual students and the student

 

 

10200SB2296sam001- 24 -LRB102 15797 CMG 24551 a

1population as a whole. The State Board shall specify a date for
2submission of the plans. School districts shall submit a
3report once each year for 3 years after the effective date of
4this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly to the State
5Board on the progress made toward achieving the goals and
6benchmarks established by the State Board and modify their
7plans as necessary to satisfy those goals and benchmarks.
8School districts shall notify parents and guardians that the
9plans and reports are available for review. On or before June
1030, 2023, the State Board shall issue a report to the General
11Assembly on the progress made by schools to achieve those
12goals and benchmarks. The required plans shall include, but
13not be limited to, the specific actions that are to be taken
14to:
15        (1) reduce and eventually eliminate a reliance on
16    isolated time out, time out, and physical restraint for
17    behavioral interventions and develop noncoercive
18    environments;
19        (2) develop individualized student plans that are
20    oriented toward prevention of the use of isolated time
21    out, time out, and physical restraint with the intent that
22    a plan be separate and apart from a student's
23    individualized education program or a student's plan for
24    services under Section 504 of the federal Rehabilitation
25    Act of 1973;
26        (3) ensure that appropriate school personnel are fully

 

 

10200SB2296sam001- 25 -LRB102 15797 CMG 24551 a

1    informed of the student's history, including any history
2    of physical or sexual abuse, and other relevant medical
3    and mental health information, except that any disclosure
4    of student information must be consistent with federal and
5    State laws and rules governing student confidentiality and
6    privacy rights; and
7        (4) support a vision for cultural change that
8    reinforces the following:
9            (A) positive behavioral interventions and support
10        rather than isolated time out, time out, and physical
11        restraint;
12            (B) effective ways to de-escalate situations to
13        avoid isolated time out, time out, and physical
14        restraint;
15            (C) crisis intervention techniques that use
16        alternatives to isolated time out, time out, and
17        physical restraint; and
18            (D) use of debriefing meetings to reassess what
19        occurred and why it occurred and to think through ways
20        to prevent use of the intervention the next time.
21    (f) A school is exempt from the requirement to submit a
22plan and the annual reports under subsection (e) if the school
23is able to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the State Board
24that (i) within the previous 3 years, the school district has
25never engaged in the use of isolated time out, time out, or
26physical restraint and (ii) the school has adopted a written

 

 

10200SB2296sam001- 26 -LRB102 15797 CMG 24551 a

1policy that prohibits the use isolated time out, time out, and
2physical restraint on a student and is able to demonstrate the
3enforcement of that policy.
4    (g) The State Board shall establish a system of ongoing
5review, auditing, and monitoring to ensure that schools comply
6with the documentation and reporting requirements and meet the
7State Board's established goals and benchmarks for reducing
8and eventually eliminating the use of isolated time out, time
9out, and physical restraint.

17students and staff; therefore, the ultimate goal is to reduce
18and eventually eliminate the use of those interventions. The
19General Assembly also finds and declares that the State Board
20of Education must take affirmative action to lead and support
21schools in transforming the school culture to reduce and
22eliminate the use of all such interventions over time.
