    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.

    Be Ready Before the 2027 Deadline

    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.
