The Killeen ISD school board voted this week to require a district-wide restorative practices training for teachers in an effort to curtail excessive disciplinary measures and boost academic performance.
The board on Tuesday unanimously approved the districtâs proposed agreement with National Educators for Restorative Practices, LLC, for the district-wide training.
The company will âprovide a framework of processes for the implementation of a district-wide discipline management system that has proven to have positive impacts on improved student discipline and academic success, campus and district-wide,â according to KISD.
Beginning next school year, and possibly as early as this summer, all Killeen ISD educators will be required to complete a one-day restorative practices training. When the training will take place, and whether teachers will be given supplemental pay for the training, will be addressed at the May 11 board meeting.
