An MTSS Solution for Georgia Educators
Support literacy, attendance, behavior, and student success with a unified MTSS platform built for districtwide implementation.
Supporting the Priorities Shaping Georgia Schools
Georgia schools are advancing MTSS, addressing chronic absenteeism, closing literacy gaps, and preparing for new HB 268 threat assessment requirements. Branching Minds brings these initiatives together in one connected platform.
Branching Minds helps Georgia districts:
- Strengthen MTSS implementation across every school
- Catch chronic absenteeism early, before it becomes a pattern
- Close literacy gaps with coordinated, data-driven intervention
- Be ready for HB 268 (Ricky and Alyssa's Law) before the January 2027 deadline
A Unified Platform for Georgia Schools
Branching Minds gives Georgia educators one connected platform to identify student needs, coordinate supports, strengthen collaboration, and make informed decisions across every school.
Meeting Georgia's School Safety Requirements
HB 268, known as Ricky and Alyssa's Law, requires Georgia districts to implement behavioral threat assessment teams and processes by January 2027.
Canopy Case Management helps districts standardize threat assessment workflows, document threat classifications securely, coordinate follow-up, and connect students with the supports identified through the assessment — all within your existing MTSS workflow, so your district is ready well ahead of the deadline.
Evidence-Based Assessment Workflows
Guide multidisciplinary threat assessment teams through a consistent protocol aligned with HB 268 and Ricky and Alyssa's Law.
Secure Case Documentation
Document assessments and follow-up activities in one secure, centralized system.
Response Plan Tracking
Assign next steps, monitor follow-up, and keep multidisciplinary teams aligned throughout the process.
Integrate Threat Assessment & MTSS
Connect safety insights to holistic student data and targeted supports, so teams see the whole student — not just the incident in front of them.
