AR HB1793

Replaces the term "positive behavioral support" with "behavioral intervention" throughout Arkansas school discipline statutes and repeals the formal statutory definition of "positive behavioral support"

Requires each school district to adopt discipline policies based on the needs of its specific student population and school personnel, rather than mandating uniform statewide positive behavioral support implementation

Replaces mandatory "problem-solving and intervention teams" with "multi-tiered system of supports" for students exhibiting social, emotional, or behavioral difficulties that could escalate to dangerous behavior

Removes detailed statutory requirements for school-wide positive behavioral support systems, including specific principles, training mandates, and implementation activities previously required of all school personnel

Makes training on positive behavior interventions optional for school districts rather than required, allowing districts to determine their own behavioral intervention procedures and training approaches
