• Behavioral Supports

    Several district-wide behavior specialists support school-based teams by referral to establish the behavioral supports necessary for all students in a school to achieve social, emotional, and academic success. This work is accomplished through staff training and implementing effective interventions for those students with comprehensive behavioral and/or emotional needs.
     
    Areas of Staff Training and Support
