COMPLIANCE TRAINING
Happy July 1st, MISD! We hope your summer is going well. The Compliance Training Courses for 2019-2020 are now available through Region 10. You may begin completion at any time through Region 10. There are 18 courses and you are responsible for completing those listed in the Compliance Requirements Form under your specific job type. You are always welcome to do more, but you are only responsible for those listed under your job type.
The NEW system will use your Region 10 account login. Please be sure you have updated your district/campus if that changed from last year.
The instructions on how to access the new online learning platform via Region 10 are linked here and attached to this email.
Here is a direct link to the Compliance Training Courses homepage:

Otherwise, staff must report to campus on August 12th and complete the Compliance Trainings on that day. Complete details regarding that process are linked for Non-226 Day Paras and Non-226 Day contract employees.
For all employees: For any Compliance Trainings not completed by August 12, the final deadline to verify completion of all Compliance Trainings is August 19, 2019 - prior to the first day of school.
