General Expectation and Guidelines
SCHOOL BUILDING LEVEL COMMITTEE (SBLC)
The School Building Level Committee is a general education, data-driven, decision-making committee whose standing members consist of a facilitator, the principal or designee of the school, a classroom teacher, and the referring teacher. The student’s parent or guardian is always an invited participant.
The SBLC shall review and analyze all screening data, including RTI results (specific interventions and progress monitoring), to determine the most beneficial option for the student. The purpose of the SBLC committee is to discuss concerns and to implement or review school-based interventions designed to address the child’s problems/concerns. Referrals for 504 eligibility consideration are made through SBLC, as are referrals to Pupil Appraisal. All requests for evaluation must be processed through the SBLC.
*If you have a concern, please set up a meeting with the administration and SBLC facilitator.

If your child has a medical condition which requires excessive restroom use, a doctor’s excuse is required to be kept on file in the front office. Students who have medical excuses will not be penalized for excessive restroom use.
