Illness Exclusion Guidelines

Many parents ask, “Is my child well enough to go to school?” and staff may also need to determine whether a student is well enough to remain at school. To ensure consistent and safe decision-making, the Mountain View School District follows the guidelines set by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) when determining which illnesses or conditions require temporary exclusion from school.
 
Please review the link below for detailed policies regarding temporary exclusion from school. You are encouraged to contact the Health Office at any time during the school year with any health information or concerns regarding your child.

Restraint and Seclusion Data

California Department of Education

Data Collection

The CDE collected restraint and seclusion data for the first time from local educational agencies (LEAs) as part of the 2019–20 CALPADS End-of-Year (EOY) 3 annual data submission. In preparation for this data collection, the CDE directed LEAs to start collecting these data locally beginning in fall 2019 for submission to CALPADS from May to September 2020. To accommodate the collection of these data, the CALPADS student discipline data files were modified to include the collection of the following behavioral restraint and seclusion data, which are defined in EC section 49005.1:

  • Mechanical Restraint: Use of a device or equipment to restrict a pupil's freedom of movement (with exceptions).
  • Physical Restraint: A personal restriction that immobilizes or reduces the ability of a pupil to move his or her torso, arms, legs, or head freely (with exceptions).
  • Seclusion: The involuntary confinement of a pupil alone in a room or area from which the pupil is physically prevented from leaving.

The chart below reflects data for the 2024-2025 school year.
