School gets grant for behavioral program

One Huntington Beach elementary school is getting relief from the California budget woes from the Kiwanis of Huntington Beach.

Hope View School received a grant for a new program to help teachers facing rising class sizes. The program is called Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports; it aims to help teachers manage student behavior.

Kiwanis Director Mike Heywood presented a check to the school during an assembly Sept. 18. The new program was announced.

The Kiwanis is a service organization dedicated to helping children and seniors. The Huntington Beach branch has nearly 100 members and has been serving the community for almost 50 years.
