Behavior task force highlights PBIS rollout and dashboard data showing most students have no incidents
Summary
Task-force presenters demonstrated a district dashboard (EduPyron) and described PBIS and MTSS work aimed at keeping most interventions at tier 1; presenters reported roughly 76% of students had no recorded incidents and promoted parent engagement and restorative practices.
Eric Wilson and other members of the district’s behavior task force told the board that the committee is expanding PBIS (positive behavioral interventions and supports) work across secondary schools and using a dashboard tool to target supports.
Wilson and Paula Agrazi said the task force includes administrators, social workers, restorative coordinators, teachers and some board representatives and will review behavior data quarterly to guide interventions. "We're using multi tiered systems of support to identify trends and address tier-1 interventions with a real emphasis on tier 1," the presenters said.
The task force demonstrated the EduPyron dashboard, which presenters said allows staff to view incidents by building, grade level and individual students and to identify repeat-involved students. Presenters reported that roughly 76% of students had no incidents this year, about 8% had one incident, roughly 10% had two to five incidents, and a small group had six to 10 incidents; the tool is intended to help target tier-2 and tier-3 supports to those students.
Presenters emphasized that the goal is to empower teachers with classroom-level strategies so most issues are addressed at tier 1 rather than escalating. For the secondary level, they said interventions are currently more individualized (conferences with administrators, restorative meetings, parent conferences) rather than mass implementation; the task force plans increased monitoring of secondary PBIS implementation.
Presenters said parents already participate in some elementary incentives and that the committee will build more parent-facing materials; they also suggested partnering with existing city programs to strengthen family engagement. Board members asked about dashboard frequency and consistent classroom implementation; presenters said the dashboard is intended as a daily tool for staff and that teacher supports and common language are central to scaling PBIS in secondary schools.
The board did not act on any new policy or program funding at this meeting; the presentation was informational.
