By what deadline must employees complete CAAT?

• A. By September 30th or within 30 days of employment.
• B. Within 60 days of hire.
• C. Within 2 weeks of employment.
• D. By year-end.

Answer: (A)

CAAT completion is part of LAUSD’s mandated training to recognize and report child abuse, aligned with the district’s annual training cycle. The deadline is set to ensure everyone finishes within the same yearly window while also getting new hires trained promptly. The correct approach is to complete CAAT by September 30th or within 30 days of starting work, whichever applies. This means new employees have 30 days from their start date to complete CAAT, while all staff should wrap up the training by the end of September each year. The other options don’t fit the policy: 60 days would miss the September cutoff for many employees, 2 weeks is too short for onboarding, and waiting until year-end could push the training beyond the annual cycle.
