* Data was reviewed at the initial professional development. The goal of the program was to decrease bullying, implement a positive behavior incentive program, and to decrease the amount of time students spend out of the classroom due to discipline issues.

*The data showed our school had the second highest referrals out of all elementary schools in the district.

*Most referrals were for horseplay, harassing, touching/striking, and profanity.
