Discipline Management

The Discipline Management Program was created for the Plano Independent School District in an attempt to better understand students and the problems they face in today's world.  The focal point of the program is the students' awareness that a school and parent partnership is formed to address student needs and problems.  The root cause of unacceptable behavior must be dealt with through the program if a change is to be brought about.  Hopefully, when the cause is determined, a positive  plan can be drawn for students to bring about change in the way they relate to others.
