Minnesota schools and districts are invited each school year to apply for PositiveBehavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) Sustaining Exemplar Recognition.

The purpose of Minnesota PBIS Sustaining Exemplar Recognition is to identify andrecognize exemplar schools that have completed PBIS implementation and arecontinuing to achieve positive student outcomes. These schools and districts are able todemonstrate exemplary status by sustaining school-wide PBIS (SW-PBIS) with fidelityin the 2022-23 school year.
