District Launch and Support Tools

Give buildings the structure, supports, and clarity needed to begin.

These tools help district leaders introduce the coordinated student support system, prepare buildings, clarify tiered supports, and support follow-through without becoming a student data platform.

Launch the system before sending buildings into tools.

District teams should first clarify the model, prepare the people involved, identify available supports, and explain how buildings will receive help when barriers arise.

1
Introduce

Use the overview and framework to build shared understanding.

2
Plan

Define roles, tools, supports, building expectations, and launch sequence.

3
Prepare

Orient principals, staff, student support teams, families, and partners.

4
Support

Review barriers, provide help, and adjust implementation over time.

District role: The district does not need to manage every building decision. It does need to ensure buildings understand the process, know which tools to use, and have access to support when implementation barriers appear.

Published resource anchors

District teams can use these established resources to strengthen local planning for MTSS, PBIS, SEL, classroom prevention, and school mental health supports.

These four Word documents are designed to be used in sequence. They move the district from consensus and launch planning to building readiness, active student review, and intensive support planning.
