Counseling Support Services
Student Review Team
The Student Review Team (SRT) is a group of school specialists who meet on a regular basis and implements a systemic process, utilizing school and community resources to remove barriers to learning. The SRT can support students who are having problems in the following areas:
- Academic
- Behavior
- Attendance
- Health
Teachers, school personnel, and parents can refer a student to a Student Review Team (SRT). The Student Review Team will review the available information and plan appropriate intervention services. When intervention plans have failed to improve the problems, the SRT will refer the student for additional services (such as functional behavior assessment/behavior intervention plan, 504 eligibility review, special education evaluation, mental health services, and speech-language evaluation).
