Manassas City Public Schools outlines multi-year tiered support system for students

Manassas City Public Schools is set to enhance its support systems for students with a comprehensive multi-year plan aimed at establishing tiered behavioral support across the division. During the recent School Board meeting on June 24, 2025, officials outlined a strategy that will begin in the fall of 2025, focusing first on developing strong tier 1 systems in schools.

The initiative will involve the formation of a behavior support coalition tasked with creating division-wide expectations for tier 2 support. This includes developing essential resources, professional learning opportunities, effective communication strategies, and benchmarks for success. The plan will subsequently extend to tier 3 support, ensuring a structured approach to behavioral assistance.

Board member Miss Miles expressed appreciation for the coalition's composition and the clarity of the tiered approach, noting that starting from a unified tier 1 system will foster consistency across all schools. This collaborative effort is expected to have a significant positive impact on the students of Manassas City Public Schools, promoting a supportive learning environment.

As the district moves forward with this initiative, the focus remains on ensuring that all schools are aligned in their approach to student behavior support, ultimately benefiting the entire community. The next steps will involve implementing the tier 1 systems and preparing for the subsequent tiers, marking a proactive commitment to student well-being and success.
