Huron rolls out tier 2 behavior facilitators in K–8; middle school role remains open
Summary
Board member Mrs. Kaneschni reported the district has placed tier 2 behavior facilitators at three K–8 sites to provide targeted behavioral supports, with one middle-school position still unfilled. The facilitators received four days of professional development.
At the Sept. 22 special meeting, Mrs. Kaneschni reported that Huron School District 02-2 has implemented tier 2 behavior facilitators across several K–8 schools to provide targeted behavioral interventions for students who need supports beyond classroom-level strategies.
"These facilitators serve as a critical link between tier 1, which is the general classroom, and tier 3, which is very specific behavior supports, ensuring that students receive the assistance that they need to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally," Kaneschni told the board. She said there is one facilitator at Buchanan K–1 Center, one at Madison 2–3 Center, and one at Washington 4–5 Center; the middle school position has not yet been filled.
Kaneschni described the facilitators' duties as providing structured interventions to reduce escalation, working collaboratively with teachers, counselors and families to create individualized behavior plans, reinforcing positive behaviors and coordinating with the district BCBA through the role office. She said the facilitators received four full days of specialized professional development — two days at the start of school and two in September — to align practices across campuses.
Looking ahead, she said the district will continue to monitor the impact of tier 2 interventions and share best practices across schools to sustain progress. The board asked no substantive follow-up questions in the public session.
