(WSIL) In 2019, when ProPublica released an article about Quiet Rooms in Illinois schools, the state acted quickly.
It instituted an emergency order to halt the practice and promised legislation to end seclusion rooms once and for all. Seventeen months later, the legislation is closer to being law. This is a great bill. When it s finalized it will be a phenomenal bill, said State Rep. Jonathan Carroll (D-Northbrook), the bill s chief sponsor.
PURPOSE OF QUIET ROOMS Quiet Rooms , or isolation timeouts , are places students went if they posed a threat to themselves and others.
The ProPublica piece painted disturbing images of children locked in small rooms while a teacher sat outside, watching and documenting. Some students stayed inside for hours.
