Chapter 33: Maine’s Rule Governing Physical Restraint and Seclusion in Schools

On July 1, 2012, changes to rules governing the use of restraint and seclusion in Maine schools went into effect. These rules, (05-071 C.M.R. ch. 33), which were developed through a collaborative process by a broad-based stakeholder group, defined physical restraint and seclusion as emergency interventions, limiting their use to situations of imminent risk of injury and harm. In approving these major substantive rule changes, the Legislature took significant steps to protect the health and safety of Maine students.
