The Manhattan-Ogden Public Schools USD 383 Board of Education held a work session on October 28, 2026, focused on student behavior and the district’s support systems. Staff reviewed positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS), classroom management and professional development, emergency safety intervention requirements, counseling and mental health services, substance-use prevention, special education programs, and strategies for de-escalation and student safety. Board members discussed the value of collaboration and consistent practices across schools; no motions or votes were reported.

No contract awards, bids, vendor selections, or spending approvals were identified. As future considerations, district leaders said they are developing a plan for classified behavior-assistant positions to work under behavior consultants and expect to bring findings from a facilities study to the board in December, including consideration of regulation spaces in school buildings. These were planning updates, not procurement approvals.
