The May 26, 2026 monitoring report shows NCSA is non-compliant with its internal standard on bullying response, as student survey scores on how well bullying is handled remain low despite some improvement. To address this, the Director notes that all TK–5 teachers and staff will participate in a three-day intensive Responsive Classroom training in August, with the goal of achieving consistent classroom responses to misbehavior and improving school culture and community. This indicates a commitment to a specific behavior framework but also suggests a broader need for SEL, climate, and bullying-prevention supports, including training, curriculum, and data tools to track impact.Vendors offering responsive-classroom-aligned SEL curricula, coaching, and student survey or incident-tracking platforms can help NCSA implement the training with fidelity and measure improvements in student safety and respect indicators over time.

The school has reduced suspensions and behavior reflections and runs Thursday lunch interventions, suggesting openness to multi-tiered behavior and SEL solutions.
