PBIS Training 2019-2020
Please take a few minutes to fill out this form to the best of your ability at this point in your PBIS planning for next year. PCOE needs an idea of what schools may be interested in their offerings. This is not a 100% commitment on your part, just a way to give our friends up the hill a little information. If you have any questions please let Meghan know.
