Goals and Mission
The mission of PBIS is to support school teams via training and technical assistance as they take a proactive systems approach for creating and maintaining a safe and positive school environment.
The goal of PBIS is to makes schools effective and efficient and provide equitable learning environments for all students. Decreasing aggressive conduct and bullying can occur through improving culture and climate, building relationships with students and staff, changing academic outcomes and increasing prosocial behaviors.
Framework at a Glance
PBIS is aligned with Policy 4373: Expected Behavior in Safe and Supportive Schools, Policy 2419: Regulations for the Education of Students with Exceptionalities, and Policy 2322: Standards for High Quality Schools.
PBIS is not a curriculum but a framework for school administrators to organize their discipline procedures and policies.
