Thursday, August 4th, 2022 -- 11:00 AM

The Granton School District received a special rating from the Wisconsin RtI Center and Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports.

Granton Administrator James Kuchta stated the Wisconsin RtI, or Response to Intervention Center, and PBIS, or Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports was created to assist Wisconsin’s educational systems to build capacity, adopt and implement high-quality practices, make informed decisions, ensure sustainability of efforts, and increase success for all students.

The Wisconsin Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) Network operates within the Wisconsin RtI Center with a specific focus on behavior. Both are a branch of the Department of Instruction.

The Center helps students in three areas including reading, math, and behavior. Granton Elementary received a bronze rating in mathematics and reading. The Granton Middle/High School received a bronze rating in reading.

Mr. Kuchta stated that means Granton “was recognized for having a foundational, equitable, multilevel systems of support in place for students to gain significantly and academically in those areas.”

Mr. Kuchta stated the District has “response time throughout the day to measure student’s performance and then make adjustments and do interventions.” Mr. Kuchta says this also helps with learning recovery to combat any learning loss that may have occurred while students were out of school because of COVID.

Mr. Kuchta also said that these rankings are “a testament to the dedication of Granton’s teachers towards their students.” Only a handful of other district in our area also received this recognition including Augusta, Colby, Marshfield, Medford, Nasonville, Osseo-Fairchild, Spencer, and Stanley-Boyd.
