Pennsbury is celebrating the accomplishments of nine District schools, as each was recognized recently by the Pennsylvania Positive Behavior Support Network (PaPBS). According to Regina Rausch, Director of Special Education, the schools are among the 2020 recipients of recognition for high fidelity implementation of Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS).
