An MTSS Solution for California District Leaders

CCSPP is built on four pillars: integrated student supports, family and community engagement, collaborative leadership, and extended learning time. MTSS provides the operational framework that helps districts coordinate and document all four, rather than running each as a separate, disconnected initiative. Learn more about how California's 2026 budget supports this work.

SB 114 requires all California LEAs to annually screen K-2 students for risk of reading difficulties, including dyslexia, using a State Board-approved tool, starting in the 2025-26 school year. Districts need a way to document screening results, flag at-risk students, and connect them to timely intervention.

Branching Minds brings K-2 screening results into the same platform where districts already track intervention plans and progress monitoring, so screening data leads directly to action instead of sitting in a separate spreadsheet or system. Districts can document fidelity of implementation and generate the reporting needed to show compliance across every school.

Education Code §215, as amended by AB 2246 and AB 1767, requires every California LEA serving students in kindergarten through 12th grade to adopt and implement a policy on pupil suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention. The policy must specifically address the needs of high-risk groups and include staff training on suicide awareness and prevention.

Canopy Case Management helps districts standardize threat assessment protocols, securely document assessments and response plans, coordinate follow-up, and connect students with the supports identified through the assessment, all within your existing MTSS workflow.

Branching Minds supports academic, behavioral, attendance, and social-emotional needs in one unified platform, not literacy alone. Districts use it to identify needs, plan and document interventions, and monitor progress across every tier, including the safety and screening workflows required under Education Code §215.
