Pinellas County, FL – Since 2006, FAST has been consistently holding the Pinellas County School District accountable for improvements in the area of school discipline. As a result of FAST’s 2006 Nehemiah Action Assembly, the Superintendent piloted a proven school-wide discipline program in eight schools. As FAST continued to push and discipline programs proved to improve classroom behavior, the school board increased the number of participating schools each year. By 2007, 37 public schools in Pinellas County had implemented school-wide discipline programs. Now, all schools in the Pinellas County School District – from elementary to high school – have implemented a school wide behavior program.
