School Building Level Committee (SBLC)
The SBLC is a general education, data-driven, decision-making committee that analyzes screening and assessment data as well as background information in the areas of school, home/ family and health to identify solutions to address areas of concern. Parents are a part of the committee and are invited to meetings. Students can be referred to SBLC by a parent, teacher, or another school employee. Please contact your student's teacher or the Instructional Leader at 337-521-7500 if you have questions on Baranco's SBLC process.
