Frequently Asked Questions
-
Are there other Tier III supports a school team can access (aside from contacting RRT)?
Here are some identified that we recommend, along with regularly assessing and building Tier 1 and Tier 2 MTSS systems with assistance from your MTSS and FIT TOSA support.
Schools may also want to consult with their school social workers, QMHPs, school counselors, school psychologists, or RESJ and other community partners who often know how to access timely mental health, culturally responsive, and behavioral support for individual students.
-
Should I call the Tier III Support Services (RRT) Team if a student or staff member is at imminent risk of harm?
Please call 988 for mental health crisis support
911 should be utilized when there is a life threatening emergency (serious bodily injury)
For a disciplinary issue/question, consider consulting with the PPS Student Conduct Coordinator
Other resources may include:
- Contact PPS Behavioral Safety Assessment System
- Contacting Student Success and Health for district mental health concerns, needs or questions
- Working with your building specialist staff (MSW, QMHP) to determine appropriate interventions for mental health and student safety.
- Debrief the situation with Student Conduct Coordinators
-
Does RRT serve students identified for Special Education Services?
Special Education will take the lead when a student already identified is exhibiting behaviors that possibly need Tier III intervention. The reason is that educational decisions for students receiving special education services should not be made outside of an IEP team and the RRT is not part of the IEP team. The guidance is for building SPED staff to contact their TOSA and then together make a decision about the PA being notified. From there, the PA would decide if and when a BCBA should be assigned to the case. BCBAs who work in the SPED dept are the staff in that dept. who are identified as taking the lead for Tier III, while RRT would be the team that would take the lead for a gen ed student who is referred. SPED can always request to consult with the RRT, in which case, RRT would support, consult, etc as a "backseat driver".
-
What type of behaviors or situations does RRT typically help to address?
RRT should not be considered as a resource for minor, repeated behaviors, such as, work refusal, yelling, tantrums, eloping to a predictable or safe location in a school (counselor's office, gym). RRT should be considered only after Tier 1,2 & 3 level interventions are in place and the school team has data demonstrating the behavior still continues. If you are not sure, please contact RRT for a consultation.
-
Can RRT provide 1:1 support for a student?
The Rapid Response Referral and process is unable to provide 1:1 supervision for a student as part of their school day.
