Many states still have no restrictions on seclusion and restraint in schools, including Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, California, District of Columbia, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, West Virginia and Wyoming.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.napas.org\/sr\/srjan10\/RS-Report-Releasejan10.pdf\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">NDRN Press Release<\/span><\/a> at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.napas.org\/sr\/srjan10\/RS-Report-Releasejan10.pdf\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">http:\/\/www.napas.org\/sr\/srjan10\/RS-Report-Releasejan10.pdf<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.napas.org\/sr\/srjan10\/Schoo-%20is-Not-Supposed-to-Hurt-(NDRN).pdf\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Download the Report<\/span><\/a> at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.napas.org\/sr\/srjan10\/Schoo-%20is-Not-Supposed-to-Hurt-(NDRN).pdf\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">http:\/\/www.napas.org\/sr\/srjan10\/Schoo-%20is-Not-Supposed-to-Hurt-(NDRN).pdf<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.napas.org\/sr\/SR-Report.pdf\">School is not Supposed to Hurt (January 2009)<\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Federal minimum standards are needed so that school children are protected from abusive seclusion and restraint practices, regardless of where they live.
