Maine school district cuts restraint use from 328 to 9 incidents by adopting preventive methods.
A Maine school district has drastically reduced its use of restraint and seclusion, from 328 incidents in 2018 to just nine in 2022-23, by shifting to a preventive approach with help from a nonprofit.
Despite this success, the practice remains common in Maine, with schools reportedly using restraint and seclusion over 10,000 times annually, though actual numbers may be higher due to inconsistent reporting.
There are ongoing debates about whether to broaden the circumstances under which these methods can be used, despite their traumatic effects.
