New to the "Elementary and Secondary Education Act" of 1965, as amended by the "Every Student Succeeds Act" (ESSA) of 2015, is specific language supporting state and local educational agencies in implementing schoolwide positive behavioral interventions and supports (SW-PBIS). According to U.S. Department of Education significant nonregulatory guidance, SW-PBIS aligns well with ESSA. That is, SW-PBIS is: (1) cross-cutting; (2) schoolwide; and (3) evidence-based, all of which ESSA emphasizes. SEAs that will be submitting a consolidated state plan for Title I, Part A Improving Basic Programs Operated by LEAs and Title IV, Part A Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grant Programs, and that are already implementing SW-PBIS, are well positioned to receive funds. For states including "School Climate and Safety" as a measure of their "school quality or student success" indicator, the SSAE grants for Safe and Healthy Students are available for states to fund SW-PBIS activities to "improve academic outcomes and school conditions for student learning." This report provides guidance for states on ESSA state plans for aligning the School Climate Indicator and SW-PBIS.
