Discuss the changes you have seen on campus since PBS implementation (e.g., data, climate, morale, etc.). This is difficult to address since we were a new school when we began implementation.  We have managed to keep discipline referrals low for such a large high school.  In addition, we can see that if lose strength in implementation we see increases in discipline problems.  

What are some obstacles that your team has had to overcome?  Please explain the process for overcoming these hurdles below. We have had a rapid increase in population therefore we have hired many new staff.  Getting all staff trained and buying in to the process has been difficult.  Also since there are more than 225 teachers it is difficulty to conduct booster sessions and training sessions.
