Welcome to the Kansas School-wide Positive Behavior Support Website

The Kansas School-wide Positive Behavior Support Website is maintained by Rachel Freeman and her colleagues at the University of Kansas. The purpose of the site is to support districts implementing school-wide positive behavior support. Currently, there are a number of districts that are implementing school-wide positive behavior support and these districts have joined a consortium in order to share resources, network, and provide technical assistance to school planning teams.

The purpose of this website is to provide information to districts and schools implementing school-wide positive behavior support in order to design educational environments that promote learning and positive school culture. Some pages in this website were created with funding from the Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE). However, this is no longer a website maintained by KSDE. For more information about KSDE's Multi-tier System of Supports (MTSS), please see http://www.kansasmtss.org/.

AUCD Legislative News In Brief (Vol. IX, Issue 83) (August 10, 2010)
Education/ PBIS
Sens. Michael Bennet (D-CO), Lamar Alexander (R-TN), and Al Franken (D-MN) on Thursday introduced the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support and Early Intervening Services to Improve Student Academic Achievement Act (S. 3733). The bill would amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to allow State educational agencies, local educational agencies, and schools to increase implementation of school-wide positive behavioral interventions and supports and early intervening services in order to improve student academic achievement, reduce over-identification of individuals with disabilities, and reduce disciplinary problems in schools, and to improve coordination with similar activities and services provided under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. AUCD signed onto a letter to the three Senators in support of its introduction. The next step is for the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee to mark up the bill.
