Rationale:
1. School Board, District Meetings and Finance/Budget Report: All district level meetings are posted on the district website under "Board Meetings". Complete Finance Reports are posted on the monthly board meeting.
2. Safety Items: We need to make sure to keep your maintenance tools, ladders, etc.... put away and not left unattended. Insurance companies call these unattended items targets for liability and will come down hard on us if we are negligent. Also any spills, water, ice that could be the cause for falls must be taken care of immediately.
3. Safety Training: There are several required safety videos posted on the district website. These are required video programs and all employees must complete the programs. The required video training sessions:
1) Youth Suicide Prevention
2) Title IX Regulations in K-12 Schools (Several videos and courses)
3) Blood Borne Pathogens
4) Personal Protective Equipment
5) Health Emergencies (Life Threatening Algeries)
6) Seizure Safe Schools (Dr. Gibbons will notify you of the website)
Optional Video Training: Visit with your supervisor on any additional training you want to pursue ie...
1) Slip, Trips, Falls
2) Other videos as assigned
