School staff may, within the scope of their duties, use and apply physical restraint to a student that they reasonably believe is necessary in order to:
- protect a person, including the person using physical restraint, from physical injury;
- obtain possession of a weapon or other dangerous object;
- protect property from serious damage;
- remove from a specific location a student refusing a lawful command of school staff, including a classroom or other school property, in order to restore order or impose disciplinary measures;
- restrain an irrational student; or
- prevent the student from fleeing when fleeing would put other students or others in danger.
