Effective MTSS builds culturally responsive academic and behavior supports to create effective environments that address a range of student needs. Florida's Problem Solving/Response to Intervention Project's Recognized Schools program honors schools for the work they are doing in building and sustaining their MTSS. The Martin County School District accounted for 20% of recognitions received throughout the state for the 2020-2021 school year.
