Desert Mountain Charter SELPA Policies and Procedures

3. The name of the staff or other persons involved; 4. A description of the incident and the emergency intervention used; 5. A statement of whether the child is currently engaged in a systematic behavioral intervention plan; and 6. Details of any injuries sustained by children or others, including staff, as a result of the incident. To ensure that these responsibilities are carried out in a professional and consistent manner, Charter LEA staff who work with children who demonstrate the potential for violent or dangerous behavior are required to become certified in CPI or Pro-ACT®. CPI and Pro-ACT® emphasize the prevention of serious behavior where least restrictive approaches such as non-verbal, para- verbal, and verbal communication are utilized first. Second, as necessary, staff may use personal safety techniques of evasion to get out of holds. Finally, and only as a last resort, physical restraint may be utilized by trained personnel, emphasizing a team-approach. Other personnel available must ensure that the child who exhibits serious behavior is kept safe as well as other children and staff members within the vicinity. END SECTION TEXT
