Next Steps

- We will work with staff to create a plan that promotes more positive communication with families regarding student behaviors.
- Our school will participate in additional BIST staff trainings to better define and address threatening and bullying behaviors inside and outside the classroom, establish clear reporting contacts for students, and ensure consistent follow-up on all student reports.
