Number of office referrals
Observation data
Data from the Chancery SMS system will be used to determine success rate of interventions.
Conferences (Students, Teachers, Guidance Counselors, etc.)
Parent, Teacher, Student Surveys

69. Tertiary Interventions (Tier 3)
Our School Support Team (S-Team) and teachers identify and plan for these students by reviewing disciplinary referrals and parent conferences. S-Team meetings, meetings with the counselors, and meetings with the teachers are conducted early to identify special student needs. We monitor these interventions with data from the Chancery SMS.
We have 0 Functional Behavior Assessments and comprehensive Behavior Intervention Plans
A. Maceo does not participate in the SHAPE Program
We have 2 Threat Assessments (From last year )
Currently, we have 0 expulsions
We monitor each 20-day period the success of interventions. We look for a decreased number of disciplinary referral forms and parent contacts/meetings for Tier 3 students. We also look for an increase in attendance and academic performance for these targeted students.
