Background Minnesota Laws of 2016 authorized a onetime appropriation of $2,750,000 to MDE in 2017 for implementation of schoolwide PBIS in schools and districts throughout Minnesota to reduce the use of restrictive procedures and increase use of positive practices. Approximately $2,000,000 was set aside for the PBIS Competitive State Grant Program. Grants ranging from $2,050 to $160,000 were awarded to 68 districts to support PBIS efforts in 347 schools. 2

Local Perspectives for Other Outcomes What were the needs related to PBIS implementation or student behavior that you were seeing in your district that you felt needed addressing, especially through a more flexible funding source like this PBIS grant? What were the goals you targeted with your project to meet those needs? What activities did you undertake to achieve those goals? How did you use data from sources like the TFI to support planning and improvement activities? How did you differentiate support for schools based on their PBIS experience? What outcomes did you achieve in terms of (a) PBIS implementation, (b) student outcomes, and (c) any others you collected? What s your evaluation of your project, and why? E.g., successful for these components, jury s still out until we implement some parts in 2017-18, etc.? What s next in 2017-18 as a result of your project? 12
