9. PBIS in Minnesota Reduces Major Office Discipline Referrals
Behavioral support is more efficient if the need for support beyond the universal level is minimized, typically
80-90% successful with universal, Tier 1 support alone
5-10% require the additional support of targeted interventions through Tier 2
1-5% require intensive, individualized support through Tier 3
Data indicate that Minnesota’s PBIS schools are meeting or exceeding these targets
These data are from the Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports School Status Report: Cohorts 1-12 from Wilder.
“Data are reported for schools in cohorts 1-12 that have entered data through two methods: through SWIS or through an online survey maintained by Wilder Research. Results were combined and averaged for each region and statewide. The triangle scores are calculated using “Majors” only. Major behaviors are defined as disciplinary incidents that must be handled by administration. These may include, but are not limited to: physical fights, property damage, drugs, weapons, tobacco, etc.”

10. Decreased Use of Suspensions with PBIS
Data from a few years ago showed that schools implementing PBIS represented approximately 25% of Minnesota districts, yet accounted for approximately 62.1% of the decrease in suspensions statewide over a four-year period

11. Cost of Implementing SWPBIS Relative to Benefits from Reducing Suspensions
Costs of suspension and dropping out
$163,340/individual across a lifetime
PLUS $527,695 in social costs
A California example
Reduce suspension rate by 1%
Reduce dropouts due to suspension by 4,233 individuals
$691 million in fiscal benefits
$2.2 billion in social benefits
Cost to implement SWBPIS
Upper end estimate of $12,400
Existing resources and personnel reallocation
Every $1 invested in SWPBIS resulted in fiscal savings of $ solely from reducing dropout by way of reducing suspensions
Swain-Bradway, J., Johnson, S. L., Bradshaw, C., & McIntosh, K. (November 2017). What are the economic costs of implementing SWPBIS in comparison to the benefits from reducing suspensions?
