We are excited to share that many Metro RESA schools and districts have once again been recognized by the Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) for their outstanding implementation of the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) framework for the 2024–25 school year!
This year, GaDOE updated the recognition process to align with the Georgia Multi-Tiered System of Supports (GaMTSS). Schools now earn one of three recognition levels—Emerging, Operational, or Distinguished—based on their completion of fidelity requirements and student outcome criteria.
This year’s recognition highlights schools that exemplify best practices in building positive school climates and creating environments where all students can thrive. Through the dedication of educators, staff, and students, PBIS continues to strengthen respectful, responsible, and safe learning communities across our region.
We are proud of the hard work and commitment of our Metro RESA schools and districts. Please join us in celebrating their efforts and success in supporting the well-being and academic success of every student!
For more information about PBIS and our schools, please visit Metro RESA’s Office of Whole Child Supports.

At the 2025 APBS Conference in Saint Louis, MO, DeKalb County Schools took center stage at the PBIS Film Festival, earning top honors in two categories! The festival, held on March 13th, celebrated the power of visual storytelling in promoting Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) practices.
Cedar Grove Elementary School won in the School Engagement Elementary School Category with a film showcasing how schools can reinforce behavior expectations through acknowledgments. Their video provides a model for fostering positive student behavior by recognizing and celebrating successes.
Tucker High School took home the award for the Instruction High School Category with a film designed to teach students expected behaviors in the cafeteria. Their engaging and informative film serves as a guide for other schools looking to improve student behavior through clear expectations and modeling.
The goal of the PBIS Film Festival is to collect and share videos from a wide range of schools, districts, and countries. This lighthearted competition recognizes films that demonstrate the core PBIS principles and meet technical video production standards.
Congratulations to Cedar Grove Elementary and Tucker High School for their outstanding achievements! Their work exemplifies the dedication of DeKalb County Schools to fostering positive learning environments through PBIS. We are proud to see their efforts recognized on a national stage!
