anticipates that there are parents who might have requested in the past to receive emergency safety intervention documentation via email District staff are welcome to inform parents of these new options available to them and their choices in these areas District statute feel free to discuss these things with parents as long as parents feel like exercising any of these options are true choices and the district is not forcing them into what certain choice if the school is aware that a law enforcement officer or a school resource officer use physical restraint or mechanical restraint on a

interventions comes the inevitable need to revise District policies Cassie's expectation is that this will be completed by the beginning of the 2016-2017 school year the revised District policy must be accessible on each School website it is not sufficient to be on a central district website Additionally the revised District policy must be included in the schools code of conduct school safety plan for student handbook revised District policy must include a schedule for when and how parents are provided with notice of the district's emergency safety policy the amendment to the regulations and statutes have not changed the school personal training requirement District policies must include School personal training for in requirements of emergency safety intervention law and must address both prevention and the escalation techniques as well as positive behavioral intervention strategies ask me earlier training requirements the level of training must be designed to meet the needs of personnel as appropriate to their duties and potential need to use an emergency safe prevention trainings need to be consistent with nationally recognized training programs and the schools must maintain documentation on training provided as well as including the list of with respect to data collection in review of all instances of emergency safety interventions District policy must establish a system by which documentation of each use of emergency safety intervention for all students for which the district is responsible is collected and maintained this also include students who the district has placed outside of the district sample in a special-purpose school it is the child responsible school that must collect and review all emergency safety intervention Dayton District policy must establish procedure by which each school will periodically review the use of emergency safety interventions for all students for which each school is responsible additional information play Tame by each school on the use of emergency safety intervention must be compiled and submitted at least biannually to the district superintendent or designee ASC has created this flowchart to help staff and the local dispute resolution process can I have the right to file a complaint with a local Board of Education if the parent believes that an emergency safety intervention was used with their child in violation of the emergency safe intervention statutes and regulations or the district's policy the parent has 30 days to file this complaint from the date the parent was informed of the use of emergency safety revention if a parent files a complaint with the local board the local board will then investigate the complaint within 30 days of the parent filing the complaint the local board issue a written final decision with findings of fact and in require corrective action if a local board does not issue the decision or if the parent is not satisfied with this issued the parent May proceed to the State Board administrative review process new the regulations is an administrative review process by the state board if a pair where to file a complaint with the local board and is not satisfied with the final decision about the use of an emergency safety intervention the parent made file a request for administrative review with state board so long as they file within 30 days of a local board final decision or if a local board fails to issue a decision within 60 days of filing a complaint with their local at this point the state board will designate a hearing officer to conduct

receipt of the request for administrative review begin with the 17 school year emergency safety intervention reporting will be done in the new kste web application the Kansas integrative accountability system as with last year Sportster kste must be submitted at the student level and include the kids ID number whether the student had either of the intervention plan IEP Bible for playing at the time of the incident the date and duration of the incident and whether the incident was a seclusion or physical restraint more information about reporting data 2K can be found on the emergency safety intervention page of the KFC website which is provided on the next line in this presentation formation and templates to school to use if desired schools can use the contact information on the left side of his PowerPoint to request that they be added to the Early Childhood special education and Title Services listserv remember when we think of using emergency safety intervention the focus needs to be on prevention kste does not promote an emergency safety interventions with any student and recognizes that there are real dangers from using emergency safety interventions that use of an emergency safety in Mansion is not part of the tier intervention plan is only to be used in an emergency and because emergency safety interventions are reactive strategies they do not decrease the likelihood of the behavior from a current in the future instead we want to focus on using proactive strategies including positive behavior interventions and de-escalation is helpful to begin to identify acting-out Behavior early and use proactive strategies to decrease the use of seclusion and restraint emergency safety interventions should not be a planned intervention for specific student under foreseeable circumstances rather behavior intervention plan should focus on the the functional behavioral assessment in the teaching of replacement behaviors if you find yourself planning to use either seclusion or restraint with a specific student it means you can predict it will if this is the case every effort should be made for prevention as we conclude here are four take away points if you use an emergency safety intervention make certain you documented II make certain you notify parents third make sure that you learn from it this includes creating the time for debriefing within the and reviewing whether all the support that have been in place for in fact program medical changes may be indicated to decrease the likelihood that the need for safety intervention Blocker in the future and Lapsley training on how to implement tiers of prevention and intervention should you have any further questions please feel free to contact Laura Jorgensen or
