parent/guardian or turned-over to law enforcement. School officials will not
search or otherwise tamper with PCDs in District custody unless they
reasonably suspect that the search is required to discover evidence of a
violation of the law or other school rules. Any search will be conducted in
accordance with Policy 5771 – Search and Seizure. If multiple offenses occur, a
student may lose his/her privilege to bring a PCD to school for a designated
length of time or on a permanent basis.

A person who discovers a student using a PCD in violation of this policy is
required to report the violation to the building principal.

Students are personally and solely responsible for the care and security of their
PCDs. The Board assumes no responsibility for theft, loss, or damage to, or
misuse or unauthorized use of, PCDs brought onto its property.

POSITIVE BEHAVIOR INTERVENTION AND SUPPORTS AND LIMITED USE
OF RESTRAINT AND SECLUSION (5630.01)

The Board is committed to the District-wide use of Positive Behavior Intervention and
Supports ("PBIS") with students. Student Personnel shall work to prevent the need for the
use of restraint and/or seclusion. PBIS emphasizes prevention of student behavior
problems through the use of non-aversive techniques, which should greatly reduce, if not
eliminate, the need to use restraint and/or seclusion.

Professional staff members and support staff determined appropriate by the
Superintendent are permitted to physically restrain and/or seclude a student, but only
when there is immediate risk of physical harm to the student and/or others, there is no
other safe and effective intervention possible, and the physical restraint or seclusion is
used in a manner that is age and developmentally appropriate and protects the safety of
all children and adults at school.

All restraint and seclusion shall only be done in accordance with this Policy, which is
based on the standards adopted by the State Board of Education regarding the use of
student restraint and seclusion.

Training in methods of PBIS and the use of restraint and seclusion will be provided to all
professional staff and support staff determined appropriate by the Superintendent.
Training will be in accordance with the State's Standards. Only school staff who are
trained in permissible seclusion and physical restraint measures shall use such techniques.
