Why we got started….
● BRIC member districts were cited for 3 consecutive years of disportionate status
● Based upon Disciplinary Incident Reporting System (DIRS) data
● Notification in March● 15% of Federal Budget - Part B funds (611
and 619) set aside for Coordinated Early Intervening Plan (CEIS)
![Page 5: Bemidji Regional Interdistrict Council Social Emotional ... · Social Emotional Learning and Mindfulness: A Collaborative Journey MASE Best Practices Conference May 10, 2018 Presenters:](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071008/5fc5589ab27953721a318312/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What are we going to do with this money?
● CEIS - the process is set up to address K-3, general education
● Sample plans reviewed focused on hiring staff (paras) or purchasing curriculum
● BRIC focused on addressing systemic practices and bringing about a change in the culture of member schools regarding discipline

Why did we target specific ages / groups of students? ● Youth in special education are almost 5 ½
times more likely to be suspended or expelled than general education students.
● Approximately half of preschool children who display challenging behavior prior to kindergarten maintain inappropriate behavior patterns well in into elementary school years.
● There are two clear developmental periods where self-regulation skills increase dramatically due to underlying changes in brain architecture--early childhood and adolescence-- suggesting particular opportunities for intervention.

Special Considerations:● Member districts with unique student
populations● Innovation -

BRIC’s goalsWe are looking for evidence that the culture is changing:● Decrease in suspension rates overall, but of
Native American students with disabilities specifically.
● Decrease in the use of restrictive procedures.● Decrease in the number of office referrals for
behaviors stemming from dysregulation.● Decrease in avoidance (absenteeism, visits to
the nurse’s office)● Increase in staff and students utilizing
self-regulation and coping skills.● Increase in Mindfulness practices creating
calm brains ready to learn!
