Board of Education Approves Disciplinary Actions

{Frankfort, Kentucky}... During a meeting in Frankfort Thursday, the Kentucky Board of Education approved a new regulation that would limit the use of certain disciplinary actions in schools that involve physically restraining or secluding children. The regulation calls for using restraint or seclusion only if a child's behavior poses a danger of serious physical harm. The board also continued progress toward creating a foundation in Kentucky that would fund innovative projects. Members approved articles of incorporation for the foundation, to be called the Fund for Transforming Education in Kentucky. The board also agreed to retain David Karem as chairman for the next 12 months.
