Diamond Lake School District 76 received ISBE approval for the Alternative RTO Reduction Plan for the 2023-2024 school year with the goal of reducing the number of days each individual student experiences physical restraint in a 30 day period. The goal plan includes the required components of an oversight committee, staff training on deescalation and prevention techniques, targeted training in the use of Non Violent Crisis Intervention, development of individual student plans based on needs and parent communication. For additional information regarding our RTO plan, please contact the Director of Student Services.
