2. Overview Middle and high school in-school suspension (ISS)
was formally restructured in the fall of 2012 to
provide academic and behavioral supports to
students assigned to ISS.  This restructuring resulted
in the hiring of NC certified teachers as ISS
Coordinators who were then trained on curriculum
appropriate for ISS as a support for students.
Monthly meetings are held to provide ongoing
professional development support for all 12 campus
coordinators.
