The SAP team reviews all referrals and an information-gathering session is started. Information is requested from the school staff about the student’s academic performance, attendance, behaviors, and other concerns. If this information verifies the concern, the school should inform the parents. Also, parents may have information which may be helpful to the team.
Together, the family and the SAP team can work to meet the needs of the student. Plans are then developed based on the individual student’s situation, the seriousness of the behavior, and the school’s policies and procedures.
