As reported above, the results indicated that the program was implemented the way it was designed. However, the support systems were inconsistent, and many of the staff did not know who was responsible for overseeing the program. The results suggested there was not an acceptance of the program because the principal and teachers felt like the program was forced on them. However, the number of office referrals did decrease when compared with the number of the referrals from the previous year. Interestingly, 2 of the participating third-grade teachers indicated that a program called Love and Logic may have had more impact than the Second Step program. The researcher spoke to the former principal and found that the Love and Logic program was implemented 2 years previously (Cline & Fay, 1989). The former principal left in May 2006 to become the director of elementary education for the district, and the Second Step program ended. It appears that the school had a pattern of starting and ending programs in a brief period of time. For example even though the Second Step program seemed to have a positive effect on student behavior, it ended in one year and another program, Love and Logic, end in one year as well. It can be concluded that these programs did not become part of the ongoing program because they were not implemented long enough
