AI Summary

This bill requires all public and nonpublic schools in Michigan to establish a behavior threat assessment and management team by October 1, 2026, which must include a school administrator, a mental health professional, and a law enforcement official. These teams will be responsible for identifying and assessing concerning behaviors, distinguishing between credible and non-credible threats, creating a central reporting system for the school community, and developing written plans to support students exhibiting concerning behavior, emphasizing supportive measures alongside any disciplinary actions. The Department of State Police, in conjunction with the office of school safety, will develop and provide annual training materials, including guidance from the U.S. Secret Service Threat Assessment Center and model forms for threat assessments, and will offer training to school employees upon request.
