House Bill 1032 - Greenblatt Act

Gaston County Schools Strategic Plan ensures a safe and orderly learning environment for all students and staff.  House Bill 1032 became effective July 1, 2006.  All local education agencies in North Carolina are expected to:

• Train all school personnel regarding the permissible use of restraint, seclusion and isolation in order to manage disruptive and dangerous student behaviors.
• Notice, report and document all permissible and prohibitive incidences involving restraint, seclusion and isolation.
• Notify all parents or guardians of all local board policies developed to implement the mandates in House Bill 1032.

A complete copy of House Bill 1032 may be found on the Gaston County Schools website (http://www.gaston.k12.nc.us) and at the Gaston County Public Library.  Each classroom teacher also has a copy.
