Join us for an engaging, solutions-focused session designed to help schools reduce suspensions, re-engage students, and strengthen school climate. You’ll learn proven alternatives to suspension that not only cut down on discipline referrals but also reduce the administrative workload tied to suspension reporting. Discover how restorative practices, structured accountability projects, and targeted Tier 3 interventions can boost family and community buy-in, improve positive climate data for state reporting, and address chronic absenteeism. Participants will leave with ready-to-use Structured Day and Accountability Project templates, as well as practical de-escalation strategies that align discipline practices with the Kentucky MTSS framework. Ongoing follow-up coaching and virtual check-ins will ensure you have the support needed to successfully implement these strategies in your school.
