This Memorandum of Agreement is for the first year of a three-year project that will provide up to five AmeriCorps VISTA members, at no cost to the school district, to support the training of school- and district-based staff and involvement of the community in integrating Restorative Strategies in the district's Positive Behavior Support strategies.  Training will include empathy-based restorative strategies to help students engage with school and build positive relationships to reduce disciplinary problems.  In years two and three of the VISTA initiative, focus will expand to include (a) working with community members to build partnerships and educating them in restorative practices; (b) recruiting and training volunteers and mentors specifically to support this initiative; and (c) implementing a data collection and analysis system to evaluate effectiveness of the initiative.
