I think BCS is fully capable of addressing issues of behavior on our own. I do not necessarily think we need to buy a program. However, if part of the appeal of PBIS is "having a program" then I offer alternatives to the incentive/token/reward based program PBIS offers. Here a middle school principle describes her experience with Marvin Marshall's Discipline without Stress:

~A Blog About Our School and the Decision to Use PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports)~
Posts
Welcome to this Blog
This blog is a place to collect information about our school's decision to adopt PBIS and how it will be implemented.
Parents and educators should have an active voice in the decision-making regarding this program.
In order to ask questions, one needs information. It is offered here.
You should know, it is filtered it through my sincere belief and experience that giving rewards for expected behavior is counterproductive to promoting responsibility.
I invite you to make your own conclusions. I encourage you to be sure your voice is heard. Our children are counting on us.
