• Students are referred by the administration and designated faculty.

• Students will be monitored by the ISS teacher.

• Activities include class assignments from teachers, character education building activities, real-world discussions, and anger management activities. 67

In-School Suspension Plan

Each 20 day period, the data for Tier 2 students is analyzed. The PBIS team plays close attention to the following:

• Number of office referrals• Observation data• Data from the Chancery SMS system will be used

to determine success rate of interventions.• Conferences (Students, Teachers, Guidance

Counselors, etc.)• Parent, Teacher, Student Surveys

68

Secondary Intervention (Tier 2) Evaluation

• Our School Support Team (S-Team) and teachers identify and plan for these students by reviewing disciplinary referrals and parent conferences. S-Team meetings, meetings with the counselors, and meetings with the teachers are conducted early to identify special student needs. We monitor these interventions with data from the Chancery SMS.

• We have 0 Functional Behavior Assessments and comprehensive Behavior Intervention Plans

• A. Maceo does not participate in the SHAPE Program • We have 2 Threat Assessments (From last year -2010-2011)• Currently, we have 0 expulsions

We monitor each 20-day period the success of interventions. We look for a decreased number of disciplinary referral forms and parent contacts/meetings for Tier 3 students. We also look for an increase in attendance and academic performance for these targeted students.
