"Department staff have developed an overview of Act 125 requirements addressing the use of seclusion and physical restraint in public schools. The overview is available at http://www.dpi.wi.gov/sped/doc/secrestwiact125.doc. As additional technical assistance materials are being developed, we will continue to keep you posted. The law becomes effective September 1, 2012, and I encourage staff to become familiar with the requirements and to take steps to ensure full compliance by the effective date. Until September 1st, districts should continue to follow the department’s directives on the appropriate use of seclusion and restraint in special education programs."
To be over the compliance regulations, we will be training 80 people in CPI during pre-service. All administrators, special education staff, and office workers are required in this first round, plus we will pick other staff as appropriate to be trained.
