The problem statement for this project based learning was that loose-coupling, when applied to the PBIS framework, translates into major gaps with district-wide implementation of Tier II and Tier III interventions. Additionally, lack of superintendent adaptive schools' knowledge and practices impact fidelity of implementation. Tier II and Tier III interventions rely upon Tier I being implemented inside individual teacher's classroom teachers' classrooms with fidelity and universal application. A review of the literature was conducted; a survey was crafted in collaboration with a user panel; PBIS school superintendents were invited to complete the surveys; the survey results were analyzed to assess key findings; and finally, recommendations were made based upon those results. Key findings included a lack of district-wide procedures and data collection processes, which created both isolationism for schools within a district as well as district action plans that were general instead of specific. Recommendations were that superintendents serve as the central voice for a district's PBIS framework, with an emphasis on both urgency and data and communicated with internal and external stakeholders. Additionally, a recommendation was made that superintendents insist upon both district leadership teams that function effectively, collect data, and make date-driven decision, s as well as include functioning Tier II and Tier III subcommittees that do the same.
