Committee refers LRBI incorporated document back to staff for additional edits before board action
Summary
The committee voted to return the Learning and Readiness Behavior Intervention (LRBI) incorporated document to staff for additional review and edits rather than forward the current draft to the full board; staff will continue work and coordinate with board members.
After discussion about the Learning and Readiness Behavior Intervention (LRBI) incorporated document — the guidance document associated with R277‑609 — the committee voted to return the LRBI to staff for more extensive review before it is forwarded to the full board.
Staff noted the LRBI contains chapters that outline MTSS and foundational materials; several committee members asked for more focused edits to the early chapters and for staff to reconcile the LRBI with planned trainings and contracts that reference the 2023 LRBI text. Staff said many LEAs had asked for training materials tied to the 2023 version and that contracts were already in place; substantial changes could delay training rollout.
Committee members debated whether to provide a base LRBI to LEAs now and continue edits, or to return the incorporated document to staff so the guidance and the training packages align. The committee voted to send the LRBI back to staff for additional work and recommended staff coordinate with board members who had suggested changes.
Ending: Staff will revise the LRBI in consultation with board members, balancing the need to deliver training resources with the desire to refine guidance; staff will report progress to the committee and coordinate next steps prior to full‑board consideration.
