Documenting, Reporting, and Monitoring the Use of Seclusion and Restraint on Students with Disabilities

The Bureau of Exceptional Education and Student Services (BEESS) supports school districts and others in their efforts to provide exceptional student education programs for students ages 3–21 who have disabilities and students who are gifted.

School districts and schools develop their own programs to serve their students in the most effective way possible. The Bureau provides training to school staff, district administrators, and others on current issues and instructional practices; provides districts with information on state and federal laws relating to the education of exceptional students; monitors districts’ compliance with the laws; helps resolve conflicts between school districts and families of exceptional students; and provides other technical assistance needed by school districts. The Bureau also supports activities that encourage parent involvement and parent/professional collaboration.
