9    (b) The State Board of Education shall promulgate rules
10governing the use of isolated time out, time out, and physical
11restraint in special education nonpublic facilities and the
12public schools. The rules shall include provisions governing

14each time these interventions when physical restraint or more
15restrictive forms of time out are used.
16    The rules adopted by the State Board shall include a
17procedure by which a person who believes a violation of
18Section 10-20.33 or 34-18.20 has occurred may file a
19complaint. The rules adopted by the State Board shall include
20training requirements that must be included in training
21programs used to train and certify school personnel.

25out, time out, and physical restraint established by rule,

 

 

10200HB0219ham002- 22 -LRB102 10331 CMG 25182 a

1which shall include meaningful and appropriate sanctions for
2the failure to comply, including the failure to report to the
3parent or guardian and to the State Board, the failure to
4timely report, and the failure to provide detailed
5documentation.
6    (c) Subject to appropriation, the State Board shall, by
7adoption of emergency rules under subsection (rr) of Section
85-45 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act if it so
9chooses, create a grant program for school districts, special

11of this Code, and special education cooperatives to implement
12school-wide, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed
13practices, positive behavioral interventions and supports, and
14restorative practices within a multi-tiered system of support
15aimed at reducing the need for interventions, such as isolated
16time out, time out, and physical restraint.
17    (d) Subject to the Illinois Procurement Code, the Illinois
18School Student Records Act, the Mental Health and
19Developmental Disabilities Confidentiality Act, and the
20federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, the
21State Board may contract with a third party to provide
22assistance with the oversight and monitoring of the use of

24districts.
25    (e) The State Board shall establish goals within 90 days
26after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 102nd

 

 

10200HB0219ham002- 23 -LRB102 10331 CMG 25182 a

1General Assembly, with specific benchmarks, for schools to
2accomplish the systemic reduction of isolated time out, time
3out, and physical restraint within 3 years after the effective
4date of this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly. The
5State Board shall engage in meaningful consultation with
6stakeholders to establish the goals, including in the review
7and evaluation of the data submitted. Each school board shall
8create a time out and physical restraint oversight team that
9includes, but is not limited to, teachers, paraprofessionals,
10school service personnel, and administrators to develop (i) a
11school-specific plan for reducing and eventually eliminating
12the use of isolated time out, time out, and physical restraint
13in accordance with the goals and benchmarks established by the
14State Board and (ii) procedures to implement the plan
15developed by the team.
16    The progress toward the reduction and eventual elimination
17of the use of isolated time out and physical restraint shall be
18measured by the reduction in the overall number of incidents
19of those interventions and the total number of students
20subjected to those interventions. In limited cases, upon
21written application made by a school district and approved by
22the State Board based on criteria developed by the State Board
23to show good cause, the reduction in the use of those
24interventions may be measured by the frequency of the use of
25those interventions on individual students and the student
26population as a whole. The State Board shall specify a date for

 

 

10200HB0219ham002- 24 -LRB102 10331 CMG 25182 a

1submission of the plans. School districts shall submit a
2report once each year for 3 years after the effective date of
3this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly to the State
4Board on the progress made toward achieving the goals and
5benchmarks established by the State Board and modify their
6plans as necessary to satisfy those goals and benchmarks.
7School districts shall notify parents and guardians that the
8plans and reports are available for review. On or before June
930, 2023, the State Board shall issue a report to the General
10Assembly on the progress made by schools to achieve those
11goals and benchmarks. The required plans shall include, but
12not be limited to, the specific actions that are to be taken
13to:
14        (1) reduce and eventually eliminate a reliance on
15    isolated time out, time out, and physical restraint for
16    behavioral interventions and develop noncoercive
17    environments;
18        (2) develop individualized student plans that are
19    oriented toward prevention of the use of isolated time
20    out, time out, and physical restraint with the intent that
21    a plan be separate and apart from a student's
22    individualized education program or a student's plan for
23    services under Section 504 of the federal Rehabilitation
24    Act of 1973;
25        (3) ensure that appropriate school personnel are fully
26    informed of the student's history, including any history

 

 

10200HB0219ham002- 25 -LRB102 10331 CMG 25182 a

1    of physical or sexual abuse, and other relevant medical
2    and mental health information, except that any disclosure
3    of student information must be consistent with federal and
4    State laws and rules governing student confidentiality and
5    privacy rights; and
6        (4) support a vision for cultural change that
7    reinforces the following:
8            (A) positive behavioral interventions and support
9        rather than isolated time out, time out, and physical
10        restraint;
11            (B) effective ways to de-escalate situations to
12        avoid isolated time out, time out, and physical
13        restraint;
14            (C) crisis intervention techniques that use
15        alternatives to isolated time out, time out, and
16        physical restraint; and
17            (D) use of debriefing meetings to reassess what
18        occurred and why it occurred and to think through ways
19        to prevent use of the intervention the next time.
20    (f) A school is exempt from the requirement to submit a
21plan and the annual reports under subsection (e) if the school
22is able to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the State Board
23that (i) within the previous 3 years, the school district has
24never engaged in the use of isolated time out, time out, or
25physical restraint and (ii) the school has adopted a written
26policy that prohibits the use isolated time out, time out, and

 

 

10200HB0219ham002- 26 -LRB102 10331 CMG 25182 a

1physical restraint on a student and is able to demonstrate the
2enforcement of that policy.
3    (g) The State Board shall establish a system of ongoing
4review, auditing, and monitoring to ensure that schools comply
5with the documentation and reporting requirements and meet the
6State Board's established goals and benchmarks for reducing
7and eventually eliminating the use of isolated time out, time
8out, and physical restraint.

15students and staff; therefore, the ultimate goal is to reduce
16and eventually eliminate the use of those interventions. The
17General Assembly also finds and declares that the State Board
18of Education must take affirmative action to lead and support
19schools in transforming the school culture to reduce and
20eliminate the use of all such interventions over time.
