Sounds like you need to be visiting the schools instead of defending Bill Trant. As a former IBS (intensive behavior support)teacher, there is no NHCS training as to when or why a child is or is not placed in the seclusion room. Unfortunately, this decision is totally up to the IBS teacher. This makes it difficult and unfair to have decide when a student will harm themselves or others.Often it is to late. Everyones tolerance is different- including IBS teachers. As far a psychological report this is news to many of us. As usual, central office says they have guidelines/policies in place when things get heated but in actuality not true.Principals aren't even informed much less teachers. Hope the school board will revisit what the support or nonsupport of our teachers.
