S-Team meetings, meetings with the counselors, and meetings with the teachers are conducted early to identify special student needs. We monitor these interventions with data from PowerSchool.

• We have 0 Functional Behavior Assessments and comprehensive Behavior Intervention Plans

• A. Maceo does not participate in the SHAPE Program • We had 1 Threat Assessments (From last year, 2014 - 2015)• Currently, we have 1 expulsions

We monitor each 20-day period the success of interventions. We look for a decreased number of disciplinary referral forms and parent contacts/meetings for Tier 3 students. We also look for an increase in attendance and academic performance for these targeted students.
