Fairfax School District Puts the Right Tools Into the Right Hands & Achieves a 35% Drop in Suspensions
Behavioral challenges are inevitable, but missed class time, reactive discipline, and punitive suspensions don’t have to be. When students are removed from school instead of supported through it, the long-term impact on learning, equity, and well-being is significant.
Fairfax School District took a different approach. Using Navigate360 Behavior Intervention curriculum, they built a flexible, student-centered system that helped reduce suspensions by 35%, increase student engagement, and equip staff with tools that work. This is more than a case study, it’s a model for what’s possible when behavior intervention becomes part of the learning journey.
