What's Happening?
Five elementary schools in the Carson City School District have been awarded Diamond Recognition for their exemplary implementation of the Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) and Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS). The awards were
presented at the Nevada Association for Positive Behavior Support's annual conference at the University of Nevada, Reno. The recognized schools include Bordewich Bray, Fremont, Fritsch, Mark Twain, and Seeliger Elementary Schools. This recognition highlights the schools' commitment to student success and well-being through strong data systems and positive outcomes.
Why It's Important?
The Diamond Recognition underscores the importance of effective MTSS and PBIS frameworks in promoting student success. These systems are crucial for addressing academic, behavioral, and social-emotional needs, particularly in high-need schools. The recognition serves as a model for other schools aiming to implement similar frameworks, demonstrating the potential for improved student outcomes through structured support systems. The awards also highlight the role of professional development and collaboration among educators in achieving these goals.
What's Next?
The Carson City School District will continue to focus on strengthening its MTSS and PBIS frameworks, with ongoing professional learning and collaboration among educators. The district's commitment to these systems is expected to lead to sustained improvements in student outcomes. Other schools in Nevada and beyond may look to Carson City's success as a blueprint for implementing similar support systems. The district's efforts may also influence state and national education policies related to student support frameworks.
