II. T. Use of Positive Behavioral Support Strategies

---

 

The West Warwick Public Schools recognize that every student has a right to be free from the unreasonable use of physical restraint and crisis intervention. Further, it recognizes that physical intervention should only be used for the purpose of preventing harm or injury and may not carried out in such a way as to intentionally cause pain, injury, trauma, or humiliation.

To that end, the West Warwick Public Schools shall develop a set of procedures to govern prevention, crisis intervention, physical management, and/or emergency restraint when such matters arise.
