TRAINING
Staff-to-Student Sexual Misconduct: While the vast number of school staff members are competent, capable and caring professionals, sexual misconduct by staff members involving students unfortunately does happen. Sexual misconduct has a profound and lasting impact on the student, school, community and staff members as well. In this course, you'll learn about the obligation of every staff member to provide an appropriate level of care for all students. Specifically, this 37-minute online SafeSchools course will explore the definition of sexual misconduct, the legal obligations of school staff members, signs of sexual misconduct by staff members and how to create clear professional boundaries that protect you as well as students. The content in this course was designed with care and sensitivity; however, some may find certain topics personally upsetting, especially for survivors of sexual abuse or assault. If you need to talk with someone, contact your administrator or a related resource in your community. (All staff training)

Examining New Title IX Rules, Core Considerations, and Potential Pitfalls: This online 60-minute SafeSchools training is hosted by SET SEG's Claim Manager and attorneys from the firm Giamarco, Mullins & Horton. They'll walk attendees through changes to the law that took effect on August 14, 2020 and discuss common pitfalls. (Title IX Coordinators and other select staff training)
