To help establish a foundation of proactive behavior and academic outcomes across the GOAL Digital Academy student population, the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) team has launched an initiative school-wide to engage students at all academic levels. GOAL has recently re-focused on PBIS as a result of two influences: response to the ODE Special Education Department’s emphasis on PBIS for all special education students, and in response to being awarded an Ohio School Wellness Initiative Pilot School Grant which emphasizes the continuance of PBIS Tier One supports and development of Tier Two supports.

GOAL Digital Academy’s Mount Vernon lab was opened in August 2011 through a partnership with Jobs for Ohio’s Graduates and Knox County Job and Family Services (JFS). The original lab was manned by only one teacher, Gregg Snouffer, in a tiny room at the Mount Vernon Salvation Armory. Mr. Snouffer enrolled the youth and worked in the lab tutoring all students. In 2015, GOAL had outgrown the Salvation Armory and began talking with Knox County JFS and community member, Mark Ramser, who assisted in GOAL’s move to the Escape Zone in 2016.
