Increase in Attendance and Academic Progress
"We have seen a dramatic improvement across the board in student attendance, staff attendance, and academic progress."
Decrease in Referrals
"Between the 2000-01 and 2002-03 school years, office referrals dropped from 413 to 236—a 43% reduction. Office referrals jumped up in 2004 because there were five teachers out on leave that year and the substitutes had not been taught CHAMPs procedures."
Decrease in Expulsions
"We went from a school with the most suspensions and expulsions in the district to the school with the least."
