This document outlines the Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) Implementation Roll-out Plan for Big Horn County School District #3 from 2024 to 2028. The plan establishes a proactive and integrated system to connect academic, social-emotional, and behavioral supports, ensuring high-quality, standards-based instruction based on student needs. It details a phased implementation across three tiers (Universal, Targeted, Intensive), including the establishment of District Leadership and School Leadership Teams with defined roles. Key focus areas include culturally inclusive practices, evidence-based interventions, data-based decision making, and continuous evaluation, aiming to foster a positive school environment and improve student outcomes through systematic change.

The Big Horn County School District #3's Literacy Plan serves as a roadmap to ensure all students graduate with the necessary skills to be productive, contributing, college, and career-ready citizens. The plan focuses on superior teaching of a rigorous curriculum, emphasizing five critical components of reading instruction: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension, alongside integrated writing across all core content areas. Strategic priorities include achieving over 90% student proficiency or adequate growth in reading, increasing overall academic achievement by 10% in math, reading, and science by June 2024 through a Professional Learning Community (PLC) framework, and implementing targeted improvement plans for elementary, middle, and high schools. These school-specific plans utilize Response to Intervention (RtI), Tier 1 and Tier 2 instruction, and specific ELA growth targets for grades 9-10, with progress measured by state summative assessments.
