# 10/6/2026 - FCPS School Board Forum

The October 6, 2026, Fairfax County Public Schools School Board Forum focused on a proposed comprehensive assessment of bullying and harassment in schools. Board members discussed student experiences across groups—including LGBTQIA+ students, Black and immigrant students, and Muslim students—and emphasized intersectionality, prevention, disciplinary practices, restorative justice, family engagement, and evidence-based approaches. Staff described existing prevention, intervention, and response efforts, including health-curriculum lessons, school-based support teams, and resources for families.

The board unanimously approved directing the superintendent to conduct the assessment and return with a report of recommendations and a presentation for a board work session by the end of the school year, with June 30 identified as a feasible target. No procurement activity, contract awards, vendor selections, or spending decisions were identified.
