JEGI LEONIS has advised Motivating Systems on their sale to Navigate360, a portfolio company of Riverside Company.

Motivating Systems is the creator of PBIS Rewards, an evidence-based, tiered framework for supporting students’ behavioral, academic, social, emotional and mental health. PBIS, which stands for Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports, helps schools track positive reward and behavior referral data, which are critical inputs in assessing the overall wellbeing of a student. The company’s software suite allows customers to analyze data across infractions and rewards, which provide valuable insights for teachers, administrators and parents.

The acquisition expands Navigate360’s leading wellness and safety suite, giving district leaders the tools, expertise and confidence they need to create safe school environments for 50 million U.S. students and strengthen the academic performance of the nation’s youth. The investment in Motivating Systems is the latest example of Riverside’s Education and Training Specialization and commitment to investing in businesses that empower educators to transform their classroom and school climates into positive learning environments.
