*** My Action Research Plan ***

Goal:  Acquire a full-time SRO for the Pampa Junior High School campus and monitor the

           affects on student behavior, via discipline referrals and feedback from students and staff,

           once tickets are being issued to students for their offenses, along with the consequences

           they will receive in accordance with our discipline plan that we have in place.
