In December, the bipartisan Keeping All Students Safe Act (H.R. 6617/S. 3448) (KASSA) was introduced by Rep. Beyer (D-VA), Rep. Hamadeh (R-AZ), Ranking Member Scott (D-VA), Sen. Murphy (D-CT), Sen. Murray (D-WA), and Sen. Sanders (I-VT). COPAA endorsed the bill because it would prohibit schools from secluding any child or using any dangerous restraints that restrict breathing or can cause harm. KASSA would only allow restraint when needed to protect students and staff from serious physical injury. Importantly, the bill would provide funds to train school personnel so they can address behaviors with proactive evidence-based strategies. ACT NOW! Email your Senators and Representative and urge them to cosponsor the Keeping all Students Safe Act today! Learn more about KASSA and why we must ensure students with disabilities have every opportunity to pursue their education free from the fear of trauma and abuse.
