The elementary schools will lead the district in the implementation of Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (PBIS) (Saranac) (Morrisonville), a program designed to train faculty and staff to most effectively use positive behavior support.

This project will also support the following in both schools: a substance abuse prevention educator one half day a week and three prevention programs; emotional wellness screenings; developmental asset building; a family resource center, which will include a parent lending library and a weekly play group for children from birth to 5 years of age (Morrisonville) (Saranac); regional parenting classes; safety and crisis response assessments; adventure based learning; an on-site mental health professional and case worker one half day a week; improvements to the district’s low ropes course and training for ropes course facilitators.
