Merit vs Scholva Behavior & Discipline

Merit is a web-based PBIS platform from Eduverse, Ltd. for K–12 students, teachers, staff, administrators, and districts. It combines recognition, office referrals, and student jobs in one system. Staff can award behavior-specific points to individual students or whole classes, with recognition categories set by school, grade level, or PBIS tier. Students browse school or classroom stores and request items; staff approve requests before points are used. Staff can post classroom or school responsibilities for students to apply for or assign directly. Administrators review and resolve office discipline referrals in Merit. District reporting shows recognition and referral trends by building, grade, teacher, or behavior, with daily, weekly, or monthly email schedules. Staff access Merit through a modern browser on a laptop, desktop, or tablet. Merit says data is hosted in the United States, encrypted in transit with TLS and at rest with AES-256, and stored on SOC 2 Type II infrastructure with automated daily backups. Pricing is on request.

Scholva Behavior & Discipline helps schools document behavior incidents, move cases through resolution, and identify patterns in student conduct. Teachers can record a student, witnesses, severity, and evidence in under two minutes. Staff can investigate, assign, and track cases, then close them with resolution steps and deadlines. A student's positive and negative conduct history appears together, alongside tools for recognizing positive behavior and awarding points linked to gamification. Listed interventions include improvement plans, counseling referrals, suspension and expulsion records, PBIS-compatible practices, and staff training logs. Schools can configure parent notifications by severity, from weekly batches for minor incidents to immediate alerts for serious ones. Behavior records connect with Scholva's Academics, parent Portals, and Analytics modules. The product is built for K-12 schools, colleges, and coaching institutes, and runs on Android, iOS, and the web. A free plan covers up to 200 students and is listed at free; a free trial is also available. Scholva says it uses AES-256 for stored data and TLS 1.3 for connections, with role-based access and audit trails.
