Emerson Power ~ Achieving Excellence Together Award
  
Boone County Schools presents the Achieving Excellence Together Award to Emerson Power Transmission's Tony Pajk, Merle Heckman and David Lindsey. This prestigious award is given to an organization or individual who goes above and beyond in partnering with our district to serve students. Tony Pajk, Emerson's President, established a vision for developing a robotics program for our high schools. He not only directed funds for the project, but also provided leadership and staff time to make it happen. David Lindsey has committed hundreds of hours to mentoring the team and he and Merle Heckman have tirelessly championed the program, working to involve more students and more industry mentors in the program. Thank you to Tony Pajk, David Lindsey and Merle Heckman for your exemplary support of our schools as we Achieve Excellence Together!

Boone County Schools recognized for implementing PBIS with Fidelity

 

The Board of Education recognized the following schools for implementing PBIS with fidelity at the September  School Board meeting:

 

Conner High School, Cooper High School,Alternative Center for Education (ACE), Camp Ernst Middle School, Conner Middle School, Gray Middle School, Jones Middle School, Burlington Elementary School, Collins Elementary School, Erpenbeck Elementary School, Florence Elementary School, Goodridge Elementary School, Kelly Elementary School, Longbranch Elementary School, Mann Elementary School, New Haven Elementary School, North Pointe Elementary School, Ockerman Elementary School, Stephens Elementary School, Thornwilde Elementary School and Yealey Elementary School.

 

The Boone County School District has embraced Positive Behavioral Intervention & Supports (PBIS) to enhance school climate and culture across the district. PBIS is a research-based model that studies have shown to improve student academic and behavior outcomes.  PBIS provides a framework for analyzing school wide behavior referrals to make decisions and solve problems based on their individual school needs.

PBIS implementation helps our schools have more engaging, responsive, preventative, and productive learning environments, improve classroom /bus management and address disciplinary issues based on data analysis, improve supports for students whose behaviors require more specialized assistance and maximize academic engagement and achievement for all students.
