Partner with the faith community and agencies to provide tutorial and enrichment programs in various communities The second area of concern was student behavior. As of April 2016, 173 out of 906 students have received office referrals for behavior. 60 of those 173 students have received 3 or more referrals, bringing the total number of behavior referrals to 580. The three offenses with the highest number of referrals are Hit/Kick/Push (167), Fighting (81), and Major Disruption (62). Actions must be taken to reduce the number of students being referred by providing supports and interventions for both teachers and students to decrease the incidents of physical aggression and school/class disruption. The third area of concern was teacher morale. Staff members noted the need for more time for non- school related activities in an effort to forge bonds among staff members. There is a desire for meeting time to be utilized in a more effective manner and to curtail the number of meetings. Professional development in the area of team building has been provided and will continue in an effort to strengthen professional relations in the building. Going forward the leadership team will make plans to incorporate team building activities into the scheduled professional development.
