Madison Elementary received the “Emerging” Award during the Iowa Department of Education’s Spring Learning Supports Conference at the Iowa Events Center.

The Iowa Department of Education recognizes and honors schools each year for their commitment and excellence in the implementation of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS). The program supports for all students in the school environment and provides districts with the framework and organizational plan to promote academic achievement and behavioral development for all students.

Schools can apply for one of 6 levels of recognition for their accomplishments, and Madison received the first level of recognition available during their first year of implementation.
