Reduction in Suspensions

Unfortunately, our youth are experiencing an increase in mental and physical health problems. These health issues have proven to contribute to the chronic absenteeism statistic. Positive Action specifically teaches self-management and coping skills, encourages self-respect and respect for others, and asks for youth to learn the importance of practicing self-honesty. Explicit skill-building directly teaches physical and intellectual positive actions, laying the foundation for good physical and mental health habits. When students feel healthy in the mind and body, they are more likely to feel motivated to be at school.
