Goal: Using positive behavior interventions, overall suspensions will decrease by
15% by the end of the 2017/2018 school year.

Action Steps:

stores, school wide prizes such as skate party, bowling party, karaoke, Friday fun day, pep rally
entrance, free tickets to dances or sporting events, etc.)

2. Hispanic females as TAs during Discovery, pulling from enrichment, providing for
remediation. *Interviews and applications needed for TA position

3. Student-led leadership roles in PBIS (Ex/ Dragon Depot, pep rally, quarterly celebrations).

4. School-wide Silent Lunch initiative: use a Google Doc spreadsheet as a school..
