Winston Churchill Elementary School, Homewood School District 153,
began to see decreasing disproportionality related to African American
students in the fall of 2009. The 16 students enrolled in Check-in
Check-out (CICO) benefitted greatly from the positive adult contact and
recognition. “We saw the connection some kids made with adults in
their daily check-in and out, and it encouraged them. The one-on-one
relationships with staff were critical,” said Assistant Principal Tonya
Morris of the school’s success in implementing CICO. As a result of
Churchill’s emerging Tier 2 supports, office discipline referrals
(ODRs) for African American students fell, decreasing the gap between
percentage of students enrolled and percentage of ODRs.
