  • The discipline committee will look for trends,
    problem locations, and frequency of discipline
    referrals or infractions to measure our progress
    towards meeting our school-wide goals.
  • The results from this analysis will lead to
    strategic planning and procedural changes if
    needed.
  • This process will be monitored by the assistant
    principal and the blue ribbon committee
  • The findings will be presented to the faculty and
    staff monthly.

22
Action Steps
  • The following data streams will be utilized to
    formulate our action plan which is currently
    still in the developmental phase MCS Climate
    Survey Data, SMS Student Conduct Data, Effective
    Behavior Survey Data, and Blue Ribbon 20 Days
    Reports.
  • The Blue Ribbon Committee met and discussed
    during the Blue Ribbon Summit the results from
    the 2007-2008 Effective Behavior Survey
  • From this data we will identify and prioritize
    Behavior Support systems in each category School
    wide, Non-classroom, Classroom, and Individual.
  • Analysis of the EBS will give us the foundation
    to build our Action Plan. We are currently
    undertaking these steps at the present time

23
Prevention Programs
  • G.R.E.A.T. Program is offered to educate
    students of the dangers of drugs, alcohol and
    gangs
  • School Home Communication
  • Guidance Counselor sponsored initiatives to
    promote appropriate behavior and student
    achievement

24
Intervention Plan
  • Students who have been referred to the office on
    numerous times are given private and group
    counseling sessions with Guidance, and if needed
    school psychologist and social worker.
  • Students who are suspended for 5 days or more
    must have a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP).
    One aspect of this plan is the Functional
    Behavior Cards (FIBA).
  • These cards are completed by teachers observing
    behaviors indicated on the cards.
  • Plans are currently in place to ensure completion
    of these mandated documents as evidenced by the
    behavior specialist participation in team
    meetings and communication with grade level
    administrators

25
In-School Suspension Plan
  • The In-School Suspension plan is a devised to
    provide needed consequences for infractions of
    the School Code of Conduct, egregious violations
    of Eagle Spirit Behavior Matrix, or repeated
    minor infractions.
  • Administrators assign students to ISS after an
    office referral has been made, investigation
    conducted with a careful examination of all
    pertinent facts, and a provision for the student
    to relay his side of the situation and often
    times parental contact. The ISS paperwork is
    completed and the student is given his copy for
    parental disclosure.
  • Students will have 24 hours between assignment of
    ISS and their actual serving of the In-School
    Suspension to allow teachers to forward all
    pertinent assignment s to the ISS teacher to
    ensure
  • ISS is not cleared until a parent /administrator
    conference can be conducted to ensure that the
    causes for the ISS have been understood, solution
    discussed, and an plan to avoid future visits
    adopted.
  • Upon completion of the ISS by the student,
    mandatory Parent conference, and clearance admit
    provided from Pupil Services a student will be
    allowed to return to his/her regular classes.

26
Secondary Intervention Evaluation
  • A low recidivism rate is the means of evaluating
    the success of the Behavior Intervention plans
    (BIP)
  • Guidance Counselor, Grade level Administrators,
    and Principal are all actively involved in
    ensuring that students who have had problems in
    the past are receiving the needed support from
    the school, home and community at large to
    address their area of need.
  • Guidance counselors work as the childs primary
    advocate in the school and communicates closely
    with the teachers and Grade level Teams to
    facilitate student success in following BIP.
  • School-wide checks and balances in place to
    ensure proper support for students after
    clearance of any suspension student is to receive
    guidance counseling and if over 5 days he or she
    must complete a Behavior Intervention Plan before
    returning to class.

27
Tertiary Interventions
  • For those students experiencing serious problems,
    the Behavior Specialist and Guidance counselors
    under the supervision of the school
    administration will refer them to additional
    professional for help such as the school
    psychologist and social workers. S-team meetings
    will be conducted with all stakeholders to
    provide maximum coverage and expertise to meet
    the students needs.
  • Currently, WMS has 48 students who are working on
    Behavior Intervention Plans after having served 5
    day suspensions.
  • These students are monitored daily by the school
    administration and guidance counselor.
  • Increased parent and community intervention is
    also sought out and secured for these students as
    well.
