What is SBIT?

Each school building has a School-Based Intervention Team (SBIT).

The purpose of this team is to ensure that your child’s academic, behavioral, attendance and/or health needs are being met in school, so s/he has a successful school experience. The team is made up of various teachers and staff. This may include the building principal, school counselor, school psychologist, a special education teacher, regular education teachers, a speech therapist, an academic intervention services provider, and school nurse.

The SBIT Team meets to review your child’s progress. In addition to the current supports your child receives, the team may recommend additional supports/interventions to assist your child in making progress.

SBIT is a general education service. SBIT is not a special education service.

Your child’s classroom teacher will communicate with you regarding this process. You will be invited to the third SBIT meeting so that the team can share the progress your child has made.

We look forward to continuing to provide your child with the best educational experience! If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s teacher or building principal.

Sincerely,

The School Based Intervention Team
