Technology Services

Mountain View School District (MVSD) believes in the educational value of using instructional technology to support curriculum and student learning. Our goal in providing electronic resources is to promote academic excellence by facilitating resource sharing, innovation, and communication.
Technology is an integral part of today’s learners’ lives and futures. MVSD strives to provide a technology-rich learning environment so students can develop the skills necessary to succeed in a modern, global society.
While technology enhances learning, inappropriate use of district resources may result in disciplinary action and/or referral to legal authorities. School and district administrators may limit, suspend, or revoke access to technology if necessary.

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.
