Longer-form draft.
On May 19 the Salem School Board received a series of updates on its MTSS-B framework covering attendance enforcement, cell phone procedures, SmartPass hall passes, and tiered behavior supports. Staff reported measurable drops in tardies (24-40%), absences (8%), out-of-school suspensions (over 50% at high school), and fights. High school data also showed a 92% reduction in phone-related incidents. Presenters stated that professional development on de-escalation and adult self-regulation operates alongside unchanged consequences, with specific notes that juniors and seniors must face accountability. Board discussion included questions on enforcement consistency and data integration across SmartPass, Infinite Campus, and Raptor systems. No public input was taken. Additional attendance trend comparisons for 2024-25 and 2025-26 were requested for later delivery. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/salem/school-board/2026-05-19/ #MeetingWatch #SalemNH
