Procedure Checklist What is the process? • How do I refer? • How do I complete form? • What is the purpose of the form? • What should I expect to happen when I complete a minor or major incident report? • How does it get to office? • Do you want to know when I refer to school nurse? Or school counselor? • When should I expect to hear back from office? • Do we track minor offenses? • Is the form different for minors? • What is the process for referring minors?
Information System • Does your data give you an accurate picture? • Are behaviors reported and entered into data system with fidelity? • Do you share behavioral data with all staff? • Does the full staff understand the importance of behavioral data and the problem-solving process?
