The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) has a policy required by law outlining standards for the emergency use of seclusion and restraint in Michigan public schools. The policy applies to all students, with and without disabilities, and requires using proven practices to reduce and eliminate seclusion and restraint practices. If restraint or seclusion is used, it must be in emergency conditions only and staff using seclusion and restraint in schools must be trained. Schools should always promote the security of the school community and the care, safety, welfare, and dignity of each student. Family Matters
