Menu path: Select Registration from the main menu, select Entry & Reports submenu, select Student District-Defined, and then select WA Restraint and Isolation.
Use this page to record details for any instance when staff needed to isolate or apply restraints to a student. Each page row identifies a separate instance of isolation or restraint. For CEDARS reporting of the Students Restrained or Isolated (S) file, eSchoolPlus treats each row as a unique record.
In addition to the fields required for reporting the S record type, the page includes fields to track information for the personnel administering the action, follow-up recommendations, and communications with the student's parents or guardians.
