Things to Ponder

75% of state prison inmates are high school dropouts

A student who is retained two grades increases the risk of dropping out by 90%

High school dropouts are 3 times more likely to be arrested compared to high school graduates

Do you want to be a part of this statistic?

Behavior is learned, it CAN be changed and new behavior CAN be

taught.“I can, therefore

I will”

Simple Definition of PBS…

•The application of evidence-based strategies and systems to assist schools to increase academic performance, increase safety, decrease problem behavior, and establish positive school cultures.
