Community Needs Data / v  SAEBRS - Maia talked about SAEBRS. Lisa Ramirez shared information about the partnership with Chico State. Each Mill Street teacher gave this assessment once, then submitted it to CSU. They then provide us the data of the results. From the data gathered, there was a School Level Total Behavior Base Rate of 28%. Classrooms identified as higher need are utilizing Mind Up curriculum. The classrooms that aren’t getting it, students with higher risk are being pulled out for individual implementation.

§  Alaya Frey asked: What if we do our own? She would be willing to help.
Reflection & Closing / v  Esther said it’s important to have really good data in regards to what our families are experiencing. We can spend time at our next Collaborative Meeting to see what’s needed specifically to families that are local to our area.
