AB 1466 Restraint and Seclusion Data

AB 1466 – Restraint and Seclusion Data

On October 8, 2023, Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill 1466 into law. This legislation enhances transparency by making it easier for the public to access information about the use of restraint and seclusion in schools. It requires all local educational agencies (LEAs), including Aspire Public Schools, to post the same data they are already required to report annually to the California Department of Education (CDE) regarding student behavior management practices.

What Does AB 1466 Add to Existing Law?
State law already limits the use of restraint and seclusion by school personnel and requires LEAs to annually collect and report specific data about these practices to the CDE. Under California Education Code section 49006, LEAs must submit this report to the CDE no later than three months after the end of each school year. The report breaks the data down by race, ethnicity, and gender, and includes separate counts for students with Section 504 plans and Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), as well as students without such plans.
