Chicago Public Schools – accused by the state of improperly restraining its students – says it is now in compliance with a state mandate to train additional teachers and staff in the areas of de-escalation and proper restraint techniques.
The district was up against a Monday deadline to train at least two staff members at each of the district’s 517 schools.
The Illinois State Board of Education declined a request for an interview, but in an emailed response, a spokesperson wrote: “CPS aims to create a safe learning environment for all students and the use of physical restraint in our schools should always be a last resort. We thank our principals and staff for prioritizing this important training. We are proud to start the new school year with staff appropriately trained at every school and will continue to prioritize this important training for our school staff.”
Fairfield Elementary reported placing students in restraint holds 82 times over the past two school years. Many lasted just a few minutes – but records show at least 23 restraints appeared to last 45 minutes or longer. In response, CPS staff said they were confused by how to fill out the documents and that intermittent breaks did occur.
