Until now, it had not been disclosed how many times students were affected by the district’s policy, but an Alaska’s News Source investigation found that number to be in the thousands.
Restraint and seclusion policies are used primarily in what are known as SBBS schools — school-based behavior supports schools. They are supposed to be used when students pose a risk to themselves or others. Restraint is the act of school staff physically restricting the movement of a student, while seclusion is the practice of placing a student in a room — usually alone — for a period of time.
However, data provided by both the United States Department of Education and the Anchorage School District show that hundreds of students were restrained or secluded since 2014. “It’s absolutely partly staffing and partly students who are having a very, very challenging time controlling themselves in our learning environments,” Aist said.
The school district declined requests for an interview to discuss the numbers in detail, saying in an email that someone would speak after construction of the multisensory de-escalation rooms is discussed further. Those rooms would be larger than the current seclusion rooms and include features designed to be calming — such as soft toys, calming music and pleasant artwork.
