St. Louis School District Ends Seclusion and Restraints | St. Louis News

St. Louis County’s Special School District is ditching seclusion and supine restraints entirely this fall after a federal probe exposed widespread misuse — including students left unattended and injured — violating ADA protections. The move follows findings that these tactics were used routinely, not as last resorts, with over 400 supine restraints logged at one high school. Now, physical restraint will only be used in emergencies where a student’s safety is at immediate risk, signaling a major shift toward safer, more humane student care.
