Reporting of Student Incidents

It is necessary to document all occasions where Protective Physical Interventions (PPI)/Seclusion in some form was needed to maintain the safety of students and staff. Examples of interventions include OIS Protective Physical Interventions (PPI) and/or or seclusion.

After an incident has occurred:

• • All staff members present during the incident must complete the Use of Protective Physical Intervention (PPI)/Seclusion Incident Report

  • The parent/guardian must be notified of the PPI and/or seclusions by the end of the school day in which the incident took place. They may be notified by phone, email, or in person.

  • If restraint or seclusion continues for more than 30 minutes, the student must be provided with adequate access to bathroom and water every 30 minutes. If physical restraint or seclusion continues for more than 30 minutes, every 15 minutes after the first 30 minutes an administrator for the public education program must provide written authorization for the continuation of the physical restraint or seclusion, including providing documentation for the reason the physical restraint or seclusion must be continued. Whenever physical restraint or seclusion extends beyond 30 minutes, personnel of the District will immediately attempt to verbally or electronically notify a parent.
