Behavioral Threat Assessment Program; require State Department of Education and Department of Mental Health to establish.

HB 672 would have required Mississippi public schools to establish threat assessment teams to identify and address potential risks to student safety. These teams, composed of mental health professionals, staff, administrators, and school resource officers, would assess student behavior using evidence-based guidelines (like CSTAG), coordinate mental health interventions, and consult law enforcement when needed. The bill also mandated training for school personnel, parental notification policies compliant with privacy laws, and annual reporting by the State Department of Education. It died in committee on February 4, 2025, and was never enacted.
