Campus Administrators and Student support team
STUDENT SUPPORT TEAM (SST)
The SST is a decision-making team that is convened to discuss students with academic and/or behavior interventions in the general education setting.
Some of the functions of the Student Support Team operating within the Multi-Tiered Systems of Support include the following FFE (LOCAL):
Meet to analyze data and discuss information about the student to identify appropriate interventions.
Refer a student from Tier III Intervention to Specialized Services, which may include counseling and guidance services, health services, psychological and social services, homeless education, youth and family services, drug and alcohol prevention, campus crisis response and support services, or child abuse and domestic violence prevention.
Discuss the referral to counseling of students who experience bullying and physical, emotional behavioral, social, medical, familial, or chemical use problems to the extent that their academic or extracurricular performance is adversely affected.
Respond to the request for specialized services made by a parent, the principal, or a teacher.
Develop an intervention plan to address a student who does not qualify or is being exited from specialized services.
Maintain a record of services that includes original copies of referral forms, data forms, team recommendations and intervention plans, and an indication of resolution.
When conducting SST Meetings, the team should work together to do the following:
Conduct a root cause analysis.
Review existing data that includes, but not limited to: existing interventions, universal screening reports, grades, attendance, discipline, anecdotal information from teachers, health, and information from parents.
Discuss the development of a more intensive intervention plan or consider internal and external specialized services.
Set a date to review progress.
