Case Study: Public Prep Network reduces suspensions by 40% with PowerSchool

How a Bronx District Reduced Suspensions by 40%

Public Prep Network, a five-school Bronx district focused on the whole child, needed a more consistent way to manage behavior across campuses and to capture social-emotional and academic data. Before working with PowerSchool, the network struggled with uneven responses to behavior infractions, different family experiences by school, and no district-wide system for tracking progress or culture.

PowerSchool’s Kickboard behavior support solution gave Public Prep Network a unified platform to record behavior, monitor interventions, align expectations, and share data with teachers and families in real time. With consistent processes and data-driven decision-making, the network reduced suspensions by 40% in one year, from 215 to 130, while improving district-wide consistency in classroom culture and behavior expectations.
