12 schools in the Daviess County Public Schools district have earned Bronze or Silver awards based on the implementation of the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports from the Kentucky
Department of Education and the Green River Regional Educational Cooperative.
Audubon, Burns, Country Heights, East View, Highland, Meadowlands, Sorgho, Southern Oaks, West
Louisville and Whitesville Elementary schools earned the Bronze distinction while, Daviess County Middle School earned Silver. In making the presentation, the Green River Regional Educational Cooperative described PBIS as “an evidence-based, proactive approach to teaching and reinforcing behavioral expectations with a goal of improving student behavior, maximizing instructional time and increasing student engagement, while also promoting an overall physically and psychologically safe school culture and climate.”
Daviess County Middle School has become the first school in the district to earn the Silver distinction which encompasses success in the implementation of Tier I (Bronze) and Tier II (Silver) systems and supports. Though each of these schools have previously been recognized for their work by the Green River Regional Educational Cooperative, this is the first year DCPS schools have earned recognition from the Kentucky Department of Education for their PBIS work.
