Tier 2 and Tier 3 Behavioral Intervention System for School Safety Compliance

 

  • HB 268 Aligned | MTSS Tier 2 & Tier 3 | Threat Assessment | Student Reinstatement

    Developed by Dr. Derek Collins & The Diversion Center

    Is Your School District Legally Protected — or Legally Exposed?

    School districts across the United States face growing liability related to student violence, threats, and behavioral escalation. Under MTSS Tier 2 and Tier 3 intervention standards, HB 268, and ESSA compliance requirements, districts must prove they implemented evidence-based behavioral interventions — not just disciplinary actions.

    Suspension alone does not meet Tier 2 intervention criteria.
    Removal without documented intervention increases legal exposure.

    The Diversion Center provides a Tier 2 and Tier 3 Behavioral Intervention System designed to:

    • Reduce school violence risk

    • Support threat assessment teams

    • Improve student reinstatement outcomes

    • Protect district leadership from negligence claims

    Why Traditional Discipline Fails Tier 2 and Tier 3 Standards

    Most school discipline systems rely on:

    • Suspension

    • Detention

    • Behavior contracts

    • Informal counseling referrals

    These approaches do not qualify as structured Tier 2 or Tier 3 interventions under MTSS frameworks.

    When a student escalates after discipline, districts are asked:

    What evidence-based intervention did you implement?

    Without documentation, the district is vulnerable.
