In their third year of PBIS implementation, the team at Lombard Middle School, Galesburg CUSD 205,
scored a 92 on the Benchmarks of Quality (BoQ), indicating full
implementation of PBIS at Tier 1. The school saw an 18% decrease in
ODRs over the last two years. In addition, Lombard has blended
initiatives such as Social Emotional Learning (SEL), with the PBIS and
academic components of Response to Intervention (RtI). In 2009, the
school made Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) on the Illinois State
Achievement Test (ISAT) for the first time since 2004. Principal Neal
Thompson explained that when PBIS was implemented, “We had time to do
the work we needed for our students [. . .] and we are still analyzing
data and surveying staff to make improvements.” The
administration has restructured the school schedule to allow time for
Social/Academic Instruction Groups and enrichment interventions based
on ODR, attendance, and academic scores of students.
