BBSST stands for "Building Based Student Support Team"
The BBSST is a school-based committee designed to meet the needs of general education students who are at-risk of failure due to academics, behavior, or drop-out. BBSST provides support when confronting classroom concerns that need to be addressed in a timely manner. It supports teachers as well as students by providing assistance in resolving the diverse problems/challenges faced by students who are struggling.
Further guidelines for the BBSST process can be found in the Lee V.
