a document detailing the seclusion tactics utilized by teachers and staff in FCPS. These seclusion techniques involved placing a student in a room for twenty-nine minutes at a time, taking them out then placing them right back in seclusion for another twenty-nine minutes. This could be repeated twelve times or more. Throughout the two and a half years FCPS was investigated, thousands of seclusion incidents were recorded. 99% of the students affected were classified as having disabilities. After the release of the DOJ document, many parents spoke out about the mistreatment of their children. The superintendent at the time, Dr. Terry Alban, was placed on administrative leave, and after public pressure, retired. Eventually, FCPS and the DOJ reached a settlement. This settlement included hiring behavioral analysts and providing trauma therapy to students affected. The total cost is predicted to exceed four million dollars. On July 1, 2022, a new law preventing seclusion in schools took effect in the State of Maryland. This law, springing up in the aftermath of this investigation, makes it completely illegal to seclude students in public schools. While seclusion will still be legal in private schools, It will be subject to a great deal of scrutiny.
