I'm surprised that this hasn't been posted to this reddit yet. Earlier this week, the Chicago Tribune and ProPublica Illinois published a story on the misuse of Isolated Time Outs in Illinois schools which has since led to Emergency Injunctions and the start of State Board of Education investigations into schools.

As an administrator in an Illinois elementary district, who thankfully doesn't use Isolated Time Outs, I was horrified to learn about this practice. I knew these Quiet Rooms existed, and I knew the law around the use of them, but I had never thought that schools were using these rooms essentially as "baby jails".
If you're in Illinois, had you seen this article? How is your school / district responding?
If you're not in Illinois, does your state / locality allow Isolated Time Outs? What are your responses to this issue?
