The
Midwest PBIS Network
is a hub of the TA Center supporting the School Climate Transformation Grants (SCTG), and the LEAs who win the award can use the funds for comprehensive and sustained training from our team.
There are a lot of possibilities for this work, including implementing any of these areas within an MTSS framework: classroom practices, restorative practices, Community Mental Health Integration, Tier I, II, and III structures, high schools, among others.
For the previous five year project, we supported LEAs including:
Alton IL, Sandoval IL, Zion IL, Appleton WI, Cheektowaga NY, Lincoln NE, Lyons NY, and Marana AZ, as well as statewide teams.
Please let us know if you plan to pursue this opportunity, and let us know how we can help. We are already assisting other Illinois sites with their application process!
