PBS Coordination and Partnerships

PBS District Level Coordination:

A 1.0 FTE PBS Coordinator provides leadership and support for PBS schools, meets regularly with district administrators to define policy and procedures, works with the district's Equity Coordinator to help schools prevent and deal with harassment, bullying and discrimination, represents the district on the Oregon Positive Behavior Support Leadership Council, represents Lane County schools on the Domestic Violence Council and trains staff in the entry and use of discipline data.

The 4J Superintendent and School Board members receive annual reports on the status of PBS in the district and data showing effectiveness. The PBS program also maintains this website. Eugene materials and information are regularly requested and disseminated to interested members of the public, e.g. media, other school districts.

PBS Project Funding:

The Positive Behavior Support project was funded entirely by School District 4J when it began in 1994. Then, from 1998-2002 a federal Safe Schools, Healthy Students grant shared with Bethel and Springfield School Districts took some of the burden off 4J in tough economic times. Currently 4J picks up most of the cost of PBS with the University of Oregon Center on Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports contributing for our partnership in several research projects conducted in 4J.

PBS school teams participate in the budget process by planning a budget for the year using an amount assigned to their building for the purpose of supporting their PBS action plan. Each team is also asked to keep a balanced budget sheet, which we provide. For accountability, they turn in a completed budget sheet at the end of the school year outlining all of their expenses and how they helped with their efforts in behavior support.
