Assembly Bill (AB) 2657 (Chapter 998, Statutes of 2018) went into effect on January 1, 2019, adding Sections 49005–49006.4 to California’s Education Code requiring LEAs to collect and report to the CDE all incidents in which a student, with or without an individualized education program (IEP) or 504 plan, is restrained (mechanically or physically) or secluded, as defined in law. 

This requirement extends to any student placed by the LEA in a Non-Public School (NPS) pursuant to their IEP. For more information on these reporting requirements, including definitions of restraint and seclusion, please visit this CDE Restraint & Seclusion information page.

Annual data on incidents (if any) of restraint or seclusion at the Mountain View School District can be found in this CDE Restraint & Seclusion data page.
