Tennessee HB0448 amends the education code to require local education agencies and public charter schools to incorporate at least two hours annually of evidence-based skills training on positive behavioral interventions, conflict prevention, functional behavior assessments, de-escalation, and conflict management. This training can also satisfy part of the in-service training required by another section of the code. The bill also removes a subdivision from another section of the education code.
