Using the Framework for Safe Learning Environments, participants will examine practical strategies and leadership actions to prevent escalation and reduce reliance on emergency seclusion and restraint.

Under MAISA's direction, a joint workgroup of ISD leaders from GELN (General Education Leadership Network) and SEILN (Special Education Instructional Leadership Network) began planning in October 2024 following the signing of Public Act 146 of 2024. The group has developed resources to support 56 ISDs in implementing the law across Michigan's 835 public school districts.

Additionally, the GELN Early Literacy and Disciplinary Literacy Task Forces have curated and organized resources into a centralized PA 146 landing page, available below.
