26 Fulton County Schools Recognized for Exemplary PBIS Programs
Fulton County Schools continues to receive recognition from the state of Georgia’s Positive Behavioral Interventions Supports (PBIS) recognition program. PBIS is designed to improve conditions for learning and promote the well-being of all students.
PBIS is an evidenced-based, data-driven framework proven to reduce disciplinary incidents, increase school safety, and improve academic outcomes, according to the Georgia Department of Education website. More than 1,400 Georgia schools have been trained in PBIS.
“Many of our schools continue to move up in state PBIS recognition level which is very exciting to see,” said Assistant Superintendent of Student Services Dr. Christopher Matthews. “We are especially excited to share that we now have 24 Distinguished schools, up from 16 last school year. This is a result of the district’s team support and our school leadership teams actively building positive climates and cultures for students and staff, a culture that positively impacts student achievement.”
Chief Academic Officer Brannon Gaskins agrees: “PBIS is a framework that is sustainable, not leader dependent,” Gaskins said. “The most promising component of PBIS is that it focuses on positive climate and culture and recognizing and rewarding students for positive behavior.”
