• Monitored separation of a student in a non-locked setting for the purpose
of de-escalating, regaining control and preparing the student to meet
expectations ONLY in a situation that poses an immediate concern for the

interventions would not prevent imminent harm to the student or others.
• The setting must be free of objects that could prevent harm to the student.
• Wall and floor coverings must be designed to prevent injury to the student.
• Parent must be immediately notified and given written description within 3
