This part of California law has not changed. School districts can only use emergency interventions when:

1. your child engages in unpredictable, spontaneous behavior; and
2. the behavior presents a danger of serious physical harm to the student or others; and
3. the dangerous behavior cannot be immediately prevented by a less restrictive response than the emergency intervention. 
   
   [Cal. Ed. Code Sec. 56521.1(a).]

School districts must never substitute the use of behavioral emergency interventions for systemic positive behavioral interventions. [Cal. Ed. Code Sec. 56521.1(b).]

The school can use an emergency intervention such as physical restraint on your child only as long as needed to control the dangerous behavior and only use the amount of force that is reasonable and necessary under the circumstances. [Cal. Ed. Code Sec. 56521.1(b)(c).]
