Dear PBIS Administrators, Principals, and Coaches,
Following the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School, there has been renewed public debate over the appropriate measures and practices to ensure school safety. The Illinois PBIS Network would like to share the following two resources with school officials. We encourage you to share these response papers with your school leaders, teams, and community. We hope this information assists you in advancement of a positive school culture including an interconnectedness among all individuals. We look forward to our continued partnership toward our shared mission to improve the school climate, safety, and outcomes for all students in Illinois.
