What does the SAP team do?

The team can receive referrals from teachers, parents, community members, or students. The team meets to discuss available options within the school to assist the student with overcoming barriers in the way of their learning. The SAP team is also responsible for assessing and intervening with students whose behavior may indicate a threat to the student’s safety, other students, school employees, or anyone else. In situations where barriers to education exist that are beyond the scope of the school, the team will make efforts to assist parents and guardians by providing information for the family to access community resources.
