Positive Behavior Intervention Supports (PBIS) for Modern School Safety
Aligning MTSS, Restorative Justice, and Threat Assessment into One Comprehensive System.
Attention Superintendents & Administrators: Meeting the requirements of HB 268 and Tier 2/3 Compliance requires more than just policy—it requires curriculum and protocol. Your Multidisciplinary Threat Assessment Teams (BTA) need valid, evidence-based tools to assign when a risk is identified.
At The Diversion Center, we provide the complete “Intervention Layer” for your safety plan. Contact 404-503-8069 or cjordan@thediversioncenter.com

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Does this meet the standard for “Multidisciplinary Threat Assessment?” A: Yes. Our BTA Threat Determination Protocol and intake forms are designed to facilitate the collaboration required by modern BTA standards, ensuring input from administration, mental health, and law enforcement is documented in one central file.
Q: How do we distinguish between “Transient” and “Substantive” threats? A: Our Trauma-Informed Threat Assessment Guide provides your team with a clear rubric to determine if a threat is an expression of emotion (transient) or indicates intent to harm (substantive), ensuring you do not over-discipline low-risk students or under-respond to high-risk ones.
Q: Can we customize the Parental Liability forms? A: Yes. All documentation in the “Command Center” is provided in a format that allows your District Legal Counsel to review and adapt to your specific policy needs.
