In 2012, Maine updated regulations and created excellent new rules on the use of restraint and seclusion. In December 2012, some Main legislators tried to roll back the changes. Due to hard work by advocates and some lucky timing, compromise legislation was agreed upon. It looks like a very good compromise which preserves the intent of the Chapter 33 updates: <br> |

This campaign may be over unless new ideas are proposed. See completed campaigns below for actions taken. |

Legislation has been proposed to roll back the Chapter 33 updates: |
|||
http://www.mainelegislature.org/legis/bills/getPDF.asp?paper=SP0079&item=1&snum=126 <br> |
|||
It allows for restraint or seclusion "to prevent the disruption of the educational environment" <br> |
|||
"The rule must be amended wherever necessary to indicate that the use of seclusion or restraint is allowed to prevent significant property damage and to prevent disruption of the educational environment." |
|||
The goal is to generate 30 e-mails to Maine State Legislators to protect the new regulations on restraint known as Chapter 33. http://www.maine.gov/doe/school-safety/restraints/index.html |
|||
Maine residents, please contact your state legislator and ask them to keep Chapter 33. Find your Maine legislator here |

Campaign to Protect Chapter 33 in Maine
In 2012, Maine updated regulations and created excellent new rules on the use of restraint and seclusion. In December 2012, some Main legislators tried to roll back the changes. Due to hard work by advocates and some lucky timing, compromise legislation was agreed upon. It looks like a very good compromise which preserves the intent of the Chapter 33 updates:
http://www.pressherald.com/news/Compromise-reached-on-student-restraint-rules.html

From Restraint and Seclusion to Positive Behavioral Supports, One District at a Time
The goal to look closely at one school system and make a difference there. We start by gathering data. Then we reach out to people in the community. Then we offer resources and support to help them improve practices in their schools.
This campaign is still under development. See the latest thinking on it here: PAPPI From R-S to PBIS
