Thank you everyone who called their Representatives and spread the word about H.R. 4247, the Preventing Harmful Restraint and Seclusion in Schools Act.
Late last week it passed in the House by a margin of over 100 votes with a remarkable show of bi-partisan support. One of the Justice For All Action
Network's top priorities for this 20th Anniversary year, this legislation is a vital first step toward protecting students with disabilities from abuse
in schools and educational settings.
