SST16 PBIS Newsletter

We are here to support 24 Southeastern Ohio School Districts. PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention and Support) is an implementation framework for maximizing the selection and use of evidence-based prevention and intervention practices along a multi-tiered continuum that support the academic, social and emotional competence of all students.

PBIS Award Recognition Information (TBA- the recognition process is being recalibrated)

The PBIS leadership team at Trimble High School developed a SCAVENGER HUNT to reinforce staff knowledge of the behavioral expectations in all areas of the building. They had a lot of fun by making this a contest! Check it out.

ELF on the ROOF! Warren Elementary principal, Rob Housel, implements PBIS daily in his building. His energy and enthusiasm about positive relationships with students and staff is amazing. Take a look at him on the roof greeting his students as they enter the building before Christmas break!

PBIS Network Team members at OCALI will be launching a Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports Website in February. It will contain online professional development opportunities. It will contain resources that will be available to support PBIS leadership teams with training materials. Many districts have not yet created resources for their "New Comers Club". This website will be excellent for this purpose.

PBIS Recognition Award Process Update for 2022-23

There is a lot of NEW information regarding the PBIS Recognition Award Process for the 2022-23 school year. I wanted to keep all of our districts up to date with the latest information. Please be aware that this is still a work in progress and items may still change. We do know that the 2023-24 process will also look different.

Topic: Meeting Expectations of the Positive Behavior Intervention Supports and Restraint and Seclusion Rule

Rule: Positive Behavior Interventions and Support and Restraint and Seclusion

On April 9, 2013, the State Board of Education approved Ohio rule 3301-35-15, standards for the implementation of positive behavior intervention supports (PBIS) and the use of restraint and seclusion. The rule was revised and re-approved on June 24, 2021.

The purpose of the rule is to ensure Ohio school districts establish consistent policies and procedures for the use of PBIS and emergency restraint and seclusion. The intent is to create safe environments for students and staff and reduce the need for emergency physical restraint and seclusion through behavior support and training.
