  20. Small Group Discussions Please discuss with your group: • In your building, • what are the clear expectations for learning and how do you ensure that every student knows them? • what are the clear expectations for behavior and how do you ensure that every student knows them? • what are you currently doing to reduce suspensions?

  21. Exit Questions • Are you familiar with your building’s Tier 1 and Tier 2 academic and behavior interventions? How is the system being monitored for fidelity? • What are systems that you believe should be in place in every school to reduce suspensions? • Do you think an alternative to suspension site would help reduce suspensions? What would it look like? • What information would you like us to provide as part of this committee (i.e. restorative justice, what other schools and sites are doing to reduce suspensions)?
