Clayton County Public Schools bus drivers David O'Keeffe and Jacquelyn Turner won the 13th National Special Needs Team Safety Roadeo held in Orlando, Fla.

As a result of a letter sent by Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, information was recently published regarding how each state handles its student seclusion and restraint policies.

David O'Keefe and Jacquelyn Turner of Clayton County Public Schools near Atlanta will represent the state at next month's 2010 National Special Needs Team Safety Roadeo in Orlando, Fla.

New federal legislation that would limit the use of restraint and seclusion in schools has been ruffling a few feathers, but, according to some industry insiders, it has little or no effect on transportation. At least on the surface.

The Department of Education on Nov. 9 provided clarification on questions to "high interest topics" related to IDEA regulations on how school districts should serve students with disabilities eligible for transportation services.
