Any existing or otherwise named committee that functions as described in this statement shall satisfy the requirement that a building has a SCIT. Examples of such teams include, but are not limited to the School Climate Improvement Teams (SCIT), Student Assistance Teams, and Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports Teams.

Students, parents and members of the community may be nominated by educational assistants and administration. Student, parent and community membership of the committee must be proportionate to and representative of the student population served by the building. Student, parent and community members of these committees may be present at all meetings of the committee except those portions of meetings where private student data is discussed.
