In this appendix, we provide basic frequency tabulations for survey items included on the survey that we analyze in this report.
Our survey items were administered as part of eight different modules, and not all respondents received each module (Tables A.1–A.13 in Module 1; Tables A.14–A.19 in Module 2; Tables A.20–A.30 in Module 3; Tables A.31–A.32 in Module 4; Tables A.33–A.50 in Module 5; Tables A.51–A.57 in Module 6; Tables A.58–A.60 in Module 7; and Tables A.61–A.65 in Module 8).
All survey estimates presented below have been weighted to be representative of the national population of K–12 public school principals and the schools in which they serve.

Respondents who indicated that their school had a school- or district-level BTAM team (or another school-based team that makes decisions regarding serious student behavioral concerns that is not referred to as a BTAM team) received this module.
At the beginning of the module, respondents that indicated they had an official BTAM team received the following instructions, “You indicated that your [AUTOFILL] has a BTAM team. Please answer the following questions based on your knowledge of that team.”
The instructions autofilled with “school” if respondents said that they had a school level BTAM team or that they had both school- and district-level teams.
The instructions autofilled with “district” if respondents said that they had a district-level BTAM team.
The question stem autofilled with “school or district” if the respondent said that they did not know the level of the team.
Respondents who indicated they had an unofficial BTAM team received the following instructions: “You indicated your school has a school-based team that makes decisions regarding student behavioral and other concerns. This team is not explicitly considered a behavioral threat assessment and management team. Please answer the following questions based on your knowledge of that team’s practices (although the questions will refer to it as a BTAM team).”
