Summary
District PBIS leaders and school representatives recognized students and staff from multiple schools for demonstrating being safe, respectful and responsible; presentations included student names, staff honorees and brief descriptions of PBIS activities at each site.
District staff used the board meeting to highlight Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) implementation and to recognize students and staff across multiple schools for model behavior and contributions to school climate.
Nicole Parker introduced the PBIS presentation and described the district’s multi‑tiered PBIS framework and how it supports a consistent approach to behavior expectations. "We're so excited to recognize you and all the hard work that you put in," Parker said as she opened the awards.
School representatives then called students and staff forward from Bella Vista, Carmichael, Huachuca Mountain, Pueblo del Sol (PDS), Town and Country, Village Meadows, Joyce Clark, Buena and others. Examples named in the record included student honorees Nathan Emerson (Bella Vista), Jada Espinosa and Benjamin Gonzalez (Carmichael), Marcel Acedo and Tess Duran (Huachuca Mountain), Penelope Navarro and James Gilmore (Pueblo del Sol), and several Buena students including Damien Vega and Dean Brownson. Staff recognized included Paula Blanchard, Aaliyah Schultz, Janica Hontenar, Joe Thomas and Todd Anderson among others.
Presenters described PBIS activities such as school assemblies, booster events, reward stores and classroom recognition systems. Angela Villalobos and other school leaders read short nominations highlighting students’ safety, respect and responsibility. The meeting wrapped the PBIS segment by inviting award recipients and families to have photos taken in an adjoining room.
The recognitions were presented as informational items; no board action was required. The district noted multiple schools have received statewide PBIS awards in recent years and that site teams continue to refine implementation.
The PBIS presentation accounted for a large portion of the meeting’s agenda and served as a public recognition of school staff and students.
