What is the date of the current policy bulletin on child abuse reporting?

• A. July 1, 2011
• B. June 15, 2010
• C. January 1, 2012
• D. December 31, 2009

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is knowing which version of LAUSD’s policy bulletin governs your child abuse reporting duties. Policy bulletins are updated over time, and the date identifies the exact set of procedures, contacts, and responsibilities you’re expected to follow.

The date shown as the current policy bulletin for child abuse reporting is July 1, 2011 because your study materials designate that as the latest issued version you should apply. That bulletin contains the approved steps and roles for reporting, and it supersedes earlier versions. The other dates reflect different bulletins, but in this context they aren’t the current reference you’re rated against. In practice, always verify the latest bulletin in the district’s official policy repository to ensure you’re following the most current procedures.
