Port Huron outlines behavior supports and evolving PBIS approach after the pandemic
Summary
Assistant Superintendent Woolman reviewed post-pandemic behavioral trends and the district's supports — social workers (including 31N-funded), counselors, behavior interventionists, refocus-room paraeducators — and said PBIS is shifting toward more elementary social-emotional learning.
Assistant Superintendent Woolman led a workshop segment detailing how the district has adapted student behavior supports since the pandemic. Woolman said the "current reality post pandemic" includes changes such as additional medical issues and toileting challenges, and noted the district continues to adapt PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) practices.
Woolman listed current supports: social workers (including 31N-funded positions), counselors in secondary schools, behavior interventionists in every building, and refocus-room paraeducators at elementary schools. The district is also focusing more on social-emotional learning at the elementary level as PBIS evolves.
Board members discussed the supports and suggested using grant funds for outreach and sharing summer communications with childcare providers; no new policy was adopted at the meeting.
