Proposed legislation aims to reduce trauma experienced by Oklahoma school children [okcfox.com]

 

Two measures introduced in the state senate aim to reduce trauma experienced by children in schools. The legislation is sponsored by Senator Allison Ikley-Freeman, D-Tulsa, who before entering politics worked as a therapist at a nonprofit mental health agency.

Senator Ikley-Freeman told FOX 25 her goal is to create a “more trauma-informed culture” within the state’s public schools.

In Senate Bill 72 schools would be prohibited from using mechanical restraints to restrict a child’s movement. It would also not allow schools to use medication to control behavior, unless that medication is authorized by a physician.
