Board approves Title I-funded dean at Barstow High to bolster PBIS supports
Summary
The Barstow Unified Board approved using restricted Title I funds to add a staff position at Barstow High School to support student interaction, discipline and the PBIS process. The motion passed after brief discussion and a second.
The Barstow Unified Board of Trustees voted to approve a Title I-funded staff position at Barstow High School intended to support student interaction, discipline and the school’s Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) process.
A staff member introduced the proposal, noting the position would be paid from restricted funds and would be based at Barstow High School rather than split across multiple sites. A committee member who had followed up with district staff praised the plan, saying, "I think it's a great idea," and called PBIS "another drop in the bucket of the support we need." The committee member also thanked staff for the proposal.
A motion to approve the position was made and seconded; the board answered "Aye" and no opposition was recorded in the transcript. Staff clarified the new role is Title I-funded and is distinct from previously hired dean positions.
The approval will add a dedicated staff resource at Barstow High School to assist with PBIS implementation and student discipline; details on the employee's start date and job title were not specified in the transcript.
The board moved on to the next agenda item after the vote.
