Washington Task Force on Behavioral Disabilities - 1997

• An estimated 9–13 % of youth aged 9–17 with emotional disturbances serious enough to impede their functioning in family, school, or community activities

• Not severe enough to be identified for special education services.

• These students often end up suspended, expelled and incarcerated.

• The Task Force recommended multi-tiered transdisciplinary “comprehensive system of care” with universal, targeted at-risk, and intensive level services.

Impacts In Highline School District, WA in Just One Year

Time Recovered

This Data Reported Yearly to the Highline School Board As Part of Their Visibility and Sustainability Efforts

Need for Better Data

• PBIS Assessments – Free to put any data in and see it by a singular school.– www.pbisapps.org

• PBIS Eval - $500 yearly and allows you to pull all data out by district and cohorts. Also allows you to aggregate Office Referral and Suspension/Expulsion data if you use the SWIS system.

So…….

• How to we get all districts these same results• How do we “scale-up”• How do we build a sustainable model
