The nature and needs of Falls Church students served by Falls Church City Public Schools (FCCPS) have changed dramatically in the past year.

Although the division grew by a net six students from last year to this year, during that same time, the number of student identifications for Special Population services rose by 74, a significant increase in students needing special services.

During a School Board work session presentation Tuesday night, curriculum administrators and teachers shared the Multi-Tiered System of Support inside FCCPS classrooms meeting the needs of the economically disadvantaged, English Language Learners and Special Education students.
