"Controversy Surrounding Student Restraint Law Sparks Debate and Sheriff's Response"

The Solutions Not Suspension Coalition, a group supporting a new law in Minnesota that limits the use of restraints by school resource officers (SROs), defended the law's focus on de-escalation techniques and the prohibition of certain restraints and holds. While some law enforcement agencies have withdrawn SROs due to concerns about the law's lack of clarity, others have chosen to remain in schools. Republicans have called for a special session to address the law, but proponents argue that the law already includes exceptions for dangerous situations and that the special session would undermine efforts to prioritize student safety.
