Nope: (g) "Physical restraint" means a restriction that immobilizes or reduces the ability of a pupil to freely move his or her torso, arms, legs, or head.
Yes, that was kind of a given.
The gist was to contradict your ridiculous premise that a normal classroom teacher cannot use restraint which would pretty much be the only way to stop a fight if verbal commands don't work
This bit is relevant as well: {i}A covered individual who has not received training...
"Halt or you'll be handcuffed!"

Agreed.
You will have to go to court and find out if a 6 year old kicking another 6 year old constitutes a unforeseen emergency and also if trained staff was or was not available. How long do you wait to see if someone comes? Remember, you are going to be put on administrative leave first as soon as Johnny's parents file a complaint and then you can attempt to assert your innocence.
I'm not trying to be a jerk, but this doesn't sound like a process in use at any public school system. I'm tempted to read the rest of the statute to investigate whether the determination of whether inter-student violence constitutes an unforeseen emergency actually requires a court appearance. I'm stunned by the claim - do you know it to be true?
