RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The Virginia Senate wants to rein in seclusion and restraint used as disciplinary measures in public schools.

The 35-4 vote Tuesday follows accounts of children as young as kindergarten being restrained by several adults, locked away in segregation, and emerging with bruises and broken bones, all in response to minor misbehavior. In some cases, parents said they weren’t told what occurred.

Sen. Barbara Favola’s legislation directs the state Board of Education to adopt statewide regulations governing the use of such measures. It includes requirements for training school staff and notifying parents.

Favola, an Arlington County Democrat, said 32 states have adopted policies on seclusion and restraint by law or regulation, and private schools in Virginia are already subject to such regulation.

Similar legislation is pending in the House of Delegates.
