What training must all District employees complete annually?

• A. First Aid and CPR Certification.
• B. Online safety and cyberbullying module.
• C. Ethics and professional conduct workshop.
• D. Child Abuse Awareness Training (CAAT) by September 30th.

Answer: (D)

All District employees are required to complete Child Abuse Awareness Training (CAAT) each year. This training teaches staff how to recognize signs of abuse or neglect and what to do if they suspect a student is being harmed, including the mandatory reporting process to Child Protective Services and the district’s procedures. The by-September-30 deadline creates a clear, universal annual compliance standard so records stay current for everyone. While other trainings like First Aid/CPR, online safety, or ethics are important, they aren’t universally mandated for all employees on an annual basis with this same formal deadline. CAAT directly supports the district’s obligation to protect students and meet state reporting requirements.
