Downward trends

What’s causing the downward trends?

2026-01-27 14:51:38 UTC

Why are these suicide issues higher?

2026-01-27 14:51:56 UTC

There is a more significant decrease in the higher level offenses than in the lower level offenses

2026-01-27 14:52:42 UTC

How accurate is this

2026-01-27 14:52:44 UTC

I wonder how much of a role restorative practices have played in this data

Are behavioral incidents measured the same way across schools?

abanks5_3 — 2026-01-27 14:54:07 UTC

What type of incidents are being reported?

What grade levels do these percentages connect to for suicide ideations?

2026-01-27 14:54:51 UTC

The suspension rate for SWD’s is the highest in all the subgroups

2026-01-27 14:55:18 UTC

2026-01-27 14:55:24 UTC

suspension down 53% what changed? Are we doing something different? Not reporting, using different tactics?

2026-01-27 15:01:58 UTC

Counselors should be funded based on the number of periods of service, not number of students for example, if a child has to mandate an individual and a group mandate that student typically count as one, but it really should count us two

2026-01-27 15:03:08 UTC

Without adequate funding and staffing, we may not continue to see a downward trend in the number of incidents

2026-01-27 15:03:33 UTC

If there is a crisis at the guidance, counselor is handling that then they are not serving students who have mandated services

2026-01-27 15:04:04 UTC

Secure funding and using CBO to augment SW and counselors to provide support.

Not enough certified bilingual School Counselors.

2026-01-27 15:05:37 UTC

abanks5_3 — 2026-01-27 15:07:03 UTC

Is it possible to partner with colleges/universities to source social worker interns who require field level experience?

2026-01-27 15:07:18 UTC

Do any of the schools have an assistant principal for a school climate?

2026-01-27 15:12:35 UTC

Having more training for counselor and social workers while increasing the funding for SEL

Provide paid opportunities for training to be done during the summer, before or after school

2026-01-27 15:15:43 UTC

CBO's

emonna2 — 2026-01-27 15:21:13 UTC

Allowing CBO social workers to cover mandated counseling to be able to support and reduce case loads

Database with approved materials for SW and SC to easily pull lessons

emonna2 — 2026-01-27 15:23:15 UTC

Having designated prep time to create and plan for sessions and lessons.

Partnership

emonna2 — 2026-01-27 15:29:25 UTC

Partner with colleges and other community resources to help with bilingual resources

2026-06-04 16:25:01 UTC

With only a handful of staff trained in restorative practices students are experiencing inconsistent "discipline" approaches and often punitive consequences that do not prioritize SEL.

abanks5_3 — 2026-06-04 16:25:37 UTC

Suspensions are down by over 50%!

2026-06-04 16:26:37 UTC

what time frame are counselor given to do IPR ?

2026-06-04 16:26:41 UTC

Are principals honestly logging/entering suspensions?

2026-06-04 16:27:30 UTC

Do we think that the restorative justice approach (less suspensions) is what is causing there to be less frequent serious behavioral incidents? Or the other way around? Or somewhat unrelated

Restorative Training

2026-06-04 16:28:25 UTC

Focus/prioritize training for ALL staff in restorative practices and de-escalation.
