Seven MCSD Schools Honored
Seven Merced City School District campuses have been recognized for their success with implementing a system known as “Positive Behavior Intervention and Support.” PBIS is a research-based, nationally recognized framework that promotes a positive culture of making good choices on school campuses. It includes clear expectations for the students as well as incentives and intervention plans -- and is part of the district’s effort to reduce suspension and expulsion rates.
The Merced City School District has been implementing PBIS in phases. The seven schools that currently use this system applied for either a Gold, Silver, or Bronze award through the Fresno County Office of Education depending on how far along they are with the implementation process, and all seven were selected for the award they hoped to receive.
· Givens Elementary School: Gold Award
· Stowell Elementary: Silver Award
· Burbank Elementary School: Bronze Award
· Fremont Elementary School: Bronze Award
· Hoover Middle School: Bronze Award
· Reyes Elementary: Bronze Award
· Rivera Elementary: Bronze Award
Representatives from the winning schools were honored during an awards ceremony hosted by the Fresno County Office of Education at the Golden Palace Banquet Hall on May 19th.
