SafeSchools ELearning Platform & Mandatory Safety Training
SafeSchools’ suite of online training programs include easy-to-use solutions for staff training on important workplace and school-related topics. The initial deployment of training courses will address regulatory expectations, such as Discrimination Awareness, Sexual Harassment and General Workplace Ethics. The Employee & Labor Relations department has compiled mandatory district compliance training modules that will deploy in a phased approach beginning July 23, 2018.
Employee & Labor Relations Mandatory Compliance Training Launch Schedule:
- July 23, 2018 – Supervisors with direct reports
- August 6, 2018 - 12 month employees (non-supervisor)
- August 20, 2018 – 9, 10, 11 month employees
The training modules are an average of twenty-five (25) minutes in length and include knowledge checks to ensure understanding of the content. Current employees are asked to complete the mandatory trainings within 30 days of the respective launch dates. As a part of onboarding, all newly hired employees will be expected to complete the mandatory training during the first fourteen (14) days of their employment with CMS beginning July 23, 2018. If there are any questions, we would ask that you contact your respective HR Team Leaders.
