BBSST (Building Based Student Support Team)

The purpose for BBSST is to provide immediate, short-term aid through a BBSST plan for students in general education that are at risk of school failure academically and/or behaviorally.  The BBSST plan provides intervention strategies that are implemented in the general education classroom.  Plans run 40-50 school days.  After implementation, plans are evaluated for effectiveness and suggestions are made for future recommendations.
