Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support is a district-wide initiative. It has been adopted by all campuses as a framework for creating structured, safe, learning environments where appropriate student behaviors are taught and reinforced. Adopted for our BISD school community are these five behavior expectations, which apply to all students and staff:



Campus PBIS teams have identified 3-5 school-wide expectations specific to their campuses, as well. These and common area expectations are posted throughout their buildings. Common area expectations align with the established school-wide expectations and clearly describe appropriate behavior for specific areas such as cafeterias, hallways, restrooms, and transportation pick-up areas. Rules and procedures that align with the school-wide expectations are also defined, taught to students, and posted in each classroom. Finally, various methods of recognition and rewards are utilized on each campus that are designed to maintain student interests and are linked to school-wide expectations.

At times, correction and consequences for misbehavior are necessary. An array of appropriate responses that align to the Student Code of Conduct are utilized. When these measures are taken, misbehavior is recorded on an Office Discipline Referral form, along with the actions taken by the school staff. This process is established to support consistent and fair application of disciplinary measures.

As part of the PBIS framework, a multi-tiered continuum of tiered interventions with increasing levels of intensity and duration is used to help all students be behaviorally successful. Below is a model that demonstrates the tiered levels of behavior support a student might receive in Brazosport schools.
