Mississippi SB2507 revises school behavior modification plans, focusing on students with disabilities.

Mississippi SB2507 amends the definition of "habitually disruptive" in school behavior contexts, emphasizing the importance of considering disabilities. The bill mandates that students with disabilities, identified through the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) or the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, should not be labeled habitually disruptive if their behavior stems from their disability. It requires schools to develop behavior modification plans using evidence-based practices and positive behavioral intervention supports, involving a Multidisciplinary Evaluation Team (MET).
