Alberta to ban seclusion or time-out rooms for students in schools
EDMONTON — Alberta Education Minister David Eggen says the province will ban the use of seclusion or time-out rooms for students in schools.
Problems with seclusion rooms surfaced last September when the parents of an autistic boy filed a lawsuit against the province.
The lawsuit claims the boy was locked in a seclusion room, naked and alone, at his Sherwood Park school in 2015.
