Sustaining Exemplar Applications for 2024-2025 schools and districts are available

Minnesota schools and districts are invited each school year to apply for PBIS Sustaining Exemplar Recognition. The purpose of Minnesota Exemplar Recognition is to identify and recognize schools that have implemented PBIS and are continuing to achieve positive student outcomes.

In addition to individual school recognition, districts that are coordinating and supporting their PBIS schools can apply for district recognition. To be identified for district recognition, districts demonstrate their capacity for coordination, training, coaching and evaluation to support schools in their district to implement SW-PBIS.

Schools and districts are able to demonstrate exemplary status by sustaining school-wide PBIS with fidelity in the 2024-25 school year. Criteria are outlined by the national Center on PBIS.

For more information and the application links, visit the Sustaining Exemplar portion ofthe website.
