About

This report describes how schools can use Functional Behavioral Assessments (FBAs) to create supportive learning environments. It explains that FBAs help understand why students behave in certain ways and develop plans to support them. The guidance emphasizes reducing exclusionary discipline, like suspensions, which can harm students' education and well-being. Schools are encouraged to use evidence-based practices like multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) and positive behavioral interventions (PBIS). The goal is to create safe, inclusive schools where all students feel they belong and have the chance to succeed academically and socially.
