Committee adds PBIS tiers and corrective strategies to handbook to reduce suspensions
Summary
The Discipline Committee added PBIS Tier 1–3 strategies and corrective alternatives to suspension and expulsion in the student handbook, with documentation processes and SBLC referral steps described for escalations.
Chair (S1) told the committee that the handbook now details Positive Behavior Intervention Supports (PBIS) with more specific expectations and a list of Tier 1 strategies for universal use. “We just want to make sure that it's consistent being utilized across all campuses,” the Chair said, emphasizing uniform application and documentation of interventions so staff can determine when to refer a student to SBLC for Tier 2 or Tier 3 support.
The presentation adds corrective strategies as alternatives to suspension and expulsion and places those options before the discipline consequences in the matrix. The Chair explained the referral process, saying staff should document interventions and, if they prove ineffective, move the student through SBLC to higher tiers as necessary.
