EDUCATION – Amends existing law to revise the powers of teachers in the classroom regarding when a teacher may physically escort a student out of class and when restraint or seclusion of a student must cease.

SOP - This bill reviews the powers and duties section of Idaho Code 33-1224 and provides updated language to clarify use of physical escort as a classroom management technique, and further clarifies when action is needed to terminate a physical restraint.
