Board approves districtwide behavior-data system to standardize referrals and interventions
Summary
Trustees approved a SWIS (PBIS) license to replace inconsistent Google-form referrals with a unified behavior-data dashboard intended to help tiered interventions and identify disproportionality; board members asked for fidelity monitoring after approval (vote 3–0).
The board approved a license agreement to adopt SWIS, a web‑based PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) data system, which staff said will replace disparate Google forms and give tier‑2 teams consistent dashboards to inform interventions.
Director of student support services said SWIS will let teams track behaviors by location, time and student, drill down on perceived motivation, and document prior interventions to support data‑driven tier‑2 responses. Staff framed the tool as a way to surface patterns and have “very difficult conversations” about disproportionate outcomes.
Board members emphasized that fidelity matters: Trustee Lockerbie asked whether the district could build oversight into the rollout so schools use the system consistently. Staff said the license is for all schools (elementary, middle and both high schools) and promised future reporting and teacher input after implementation.
The motion to approve the SWIS license carried by roll call, with trustees Hammond, Lockerbie and President Trivante voting yes (3–0). District staff said the system will be evaluated after one year with teacher feedback and data review.
