2009 – 2010 Principal selects six teachers and one administrator to investigate PBIS for Shelby High. Spring: The team visits Triton H. S. in Erwin, N.C. and presents information to faculty. Faculty votes by secret ballot and approves implementation with 93%. Summer: The team travels to Statesville for Module 1 training. Planning sessions are used to focus team and establish attainable goals for first year of implementation.

2010 – 2011 Planning for Implementation The team meets in the summer and roles of members are assigned. Slogan (R.O.A.R.), school-wide matrix of expectations, and rewards for upcoming year are developed. Minor Incident Referrals (MIR’s) and Office Discipline Referrals (ODR’s) are created based on faculty input. Education of faculty, students, and parents (through letters, lesson plans, and instructional videos) is prepared and scheduled.
