- Lawmakers call for student protections, school accountability following WFYI investigation (WFYI, 6/26/2023)
- Lawmakers from both parties in Indiana are seeking solutions following an investigation by WFYI that exposed inaccurate reporting of student restraint and seclusion in schools. A 2013 law aimed to regulate and minimize the use of such interventions, but a lack of oversight from the Indiana Department of Education has raised doubts about its effectiveness. Legislators are calling for increased accountability, transparent reporting, and potential legislative action to ensure a safe and inclusive learning environment for all students, particularly those with disabilities.
