Flint Community Schools

Flint, Michigan – October 30, 2026 – Flint Community Schools is proud to announce that all nine of its buildings have earned recognition through Michigan’s Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MiMTSS) Recognition process for the 2025–2026 school year. This recognition highlights the district’s continued efforts to implement data-informed practices and effective systems of support that address the diverse needs of every scholar.

The MiMTSS Recognition program celebrates Michigan schools, districts, and intermediate school districts that demonstrate progress in implementing a Multi-Tiered System of Supports framework. The statewide recognition process highlights accomplishments in two areas: MTSS Data Utilization and MTSS Implementation and Impact.

For the 2025–2026 school year, Flint Community Schools earned recognition in both categories, reflecting the work taking place across its buildings to strengthen behavioral support systems and use data to guide decision-making.

Multi-Tiered Systems of Support provide a framework for schools to identify and respond to the academic, behavioral, social, and emotional needs of learners through different levels of support. By collecting and using data to evaluate the effectiveness of these systems, educators can make informed decisions and strengthen the supports available to every scholar.

This recognition reflects the ongoing efforts of Flint Community Schools educators and staff to build supportive learning environments, strengthen schoolwide practices, and ensure every scholar has opportunities to succeed.

Flint Community Schools congratulates the recognized schools and their staff members for their continued commitment to supporting scholars and advancing the district’s work through MTSS.
