      Emergency safety intervention is the use of seclusion or physical restraint on a student. An emergency safety intervention should only be used when the student presents a reasonable and immediate danger of physical harm to him/herself or others.  Lawrence Public Schools encourage proactive, preventative strategies to ensure a safe learning environment for all students and staff.
