Is your district on this list?
There is federal legislation active right now called the Keeping All Students Safe Act (KASSA).
One thing that you can do is write to the Michigan senators and your representative, urging them to cosign the bill.
The Keeping All Students Safe Act (KASSA) prohibits the use of seclusion and limits the use of physical restraint in schools and Head Start programs that receive federal funding.

Stories are Powerful
Most people have no idea what it's like to be secluded or restrained in school or what it's like to be the parent of a student who has experienced seclusion or restraint at school. Some people have no idea that these practices are even allowed in Michigan schools, let alone their own school districts. Sharing your story is a personal choice. It can feel vulnerable and difficult. It can also inspire change. You are invited to share your story if and when you are ready.
