Board drops state-mandated four-hour bullying training requirement in updated policy
Summary
The committee adopted revisions to the bullying and hazing policy to remove a previously required four-hour training after the state removed that mandate; administrators said training will continue in a shorter electronic format.
The committee approved revisions to policy JCD A F on bullying and hazing, removing a previous four-hour training requirement after the state rescinded that mandate. Staff said the district will continue to provide training for teachers and administrators via electronic modules and quizzes, but the four-hour in-person training that had been required by statute is no longer mandated. Administration told the committee it will follow the investigation steps in policy when reports arise. Mister Piazza moved the motion to adopt; Mister Duncan seconded. Committee members asked what would replace the four-hour requirement, and administrators said the district will continue basic electronic training and follow established investigative procedures under the revised policy.
