Transforming Disciplinary Systems to Support Every Learner
Services for Schools
The sustained reliance on traditional, punitive discipline is not only fiscally unsustainable—it exposes your district to unnecessary legal vulnerability, particularly in the high-risk areas of racial disproportionality and Special Education compliance. RJV Educational Consulting transforms this liability into an asset. We recognize that the current In-School Suspension (ISS) model is a systemic failure, acting as a costly, unproductive holding cell that overwhelms administrators and drives behavioral recidivism.
We don't just recommend change; we implement a proprietary, data-driven framework that converts ISS into an equitable, efficient intervention center. By addressing root behavioral deficits, we drastically reduce repeat offenses, mitigate your legal exposure, and give your administrators back their time.
Partner with us to move beyond punitive failure and achieve legally compliant, financially responsible, and equitable discipline outcomes.
Our Service Tiers
We provide targeted consultative services for school districts, bridging disciplinary practices and student support systems to drive equitable, legally compliant, and effective educational outcomes. Our work transforms individual programs and school-wide procedures to create sustainable improvements in school culture and student success.
ISS Audit & Consultation
Ensure your In-School Suspension (ISS) program aligns with best practices and legal standards. We conduct a focused audit using a specialized checklist of key components to assess effectiveness and procedural compliance. This service culminates in a 30-minute Strategic Consultation, providing you with rapid, actionable feedback to highlight program strengths and identify high-leverage areas for immediate system refinement.
Professional Development: ISS Program Design
This professional development session is exclusively for administrators, behavioral leaders, and clinical staff focused on systemic change. Participants will gain the practical strategies to design a comprehensive ISS program rooted in restorative practices. We equip leaders to move away from solely punitive practices by developing a program that holds students accountable, intentionally reduces exclusionary discipline and ensures absolute legal compliance and appropriate educational service delivery for students with IEPs. The outcome is the immediate ability to lead the development of an effective, inclusive, and legally sound ISS framework that demonstrably improves student outcomes.
The Systemic Discipline Implementation Partnership
We provide your administrative and behavioral leadership teams with intensive, on-site expertise to completely rebuild your ISS program. This service is designed to move your school from blueprint to full functionality, guaranteeing compliance and immediate impact.
The Full-Service Disciplinary System Overhaul
Our Signature Partnership for a Total Disciplinary System Overhaul. This is our most intensive, research-driven service, designed for districts seeking a data-driven, systemic pathway to achieve equity and sustainability across all behavioral practices. We go beyond ISS implementation to strategically redesign your entire discipline framework.
Frequently Asked Questions
Measuring Results & ROI
-
A: We focus on measurable, data-driven outcomes tracked quarterly. Success is defined by:
Reduction in Exclusions: A measurable decrease in Out-of-School Suspensions (OSS) and expulsions, typically noticeable within the first academic semester post-implementation compared to the same time the previous year.
Equity Metrics: A statistically significant reduction in racial and disability disproportionality as measured by risk ratios in discipline data.
Compliance Audit: Successful external audits confirming our IEP/504 compliance improvements in discipline procedures (like MDRs and the legally compliant ISS program).
Operational Efficiency: Increased time savings for administrators resulting from fewer repeated disciplinary hearings and legal case preparations.
Compliance & Legal Risk
-
My work directly targets the areas most vulnerable to litigation:
IEP/504 Protection: I ensure your In-School Suspension (ISS) program is legally airtight, rigorously documenting the provision of all required SPED services, eliminating a major source of FAPE denial claims.
Data Integrity: By reducing disproportionality, we proactively remove the evidence that often triggers civil rights investigations and costly consent decrees.
Expertise & Credentials
-
My value lies in my integrated executive experience. I don't just specialize in one area—I understand the systemic interface between them as a previous Director of Special Education and Director of Deans:
Systems Merger: I understand how a district's discipline policy must integrate with Special Education law to function legally and effectively.
Clinical Depth: My Doctorate in School Psychology ensures our solutions are rooted in evidence-based clinical practice, not just policy theory.
Reform Certification: My Certificate in School Discipline Reform validates my expertise in the specific, modern shifts required by leading equity-focused systems. I bridge the clinical, legal, and operational gaps that internal teams often cannot due to siloed responsibilities.
Cost & Sustainability
-
You are investing in systemic change and risk mitigation, not just a salary:
Efficiency: My project-based approach provides focused, executive-level solutions that are implemented faster than the learning curve of a new permanent employee.
Fixed Cost Protection: The cost of one significant due process loss or a state compliance sanction vastly outweighs the investment in preventative reform. My services are framed to protect your long-term financial health by reducing those high-risk liabilities.
Sustainability: We ensure your team is trained and equipped to sustain the changes after our engagement ends, unlike temporary staff whose knowledge leaves when they do.
