Summer Compliance Trainings 2019-2020
As discussed in the District-Wide Staff Meeting this week, the 2019-2020 MISD Compliance Trainings will be completed through the Region 10 Bundle this year.
Courses will not open until July 1, 2019, and Region 10 will have a new platform that is not yet ready to launch. Therefore, we will have to send out login instructions to staff in late June when we know more. All staff will need to be sure and check email by the end of June for compliance login information.
Suicide Training will be available through Region 10. If staff attends Mental Health First Aid at MPowered Summer Academy, that counts as their suicide compliance.If you are a staff member attending the Mental Health First Aid training you would know!
This Compliance Form includes all job categories and required compliance trainings. The instructions indicate courses cannot be accessed and completed prior to July 1, 2019.
Please do not attempt to complete any compliance courses prior to July 1, as those courses open at this time are for 2018-2019 only.
For Contracted Staff: Since MISD is offering an Exchange/Comp Day for Compliance Training this year, teachers would have to have all compliance completed by August 12 in order to have that day off.
It is the expectation of the district that compliance trainings are completed before school starts moving forward, therefore compliance deadlines will be August 19, 2019.
For Para Staff: Up to 6 hours of compliance training are due by August 12 in order for para staff to receive that day off as an exchange day.
Otherwise, para staff can work August 12 to complete up to 6 hours of compliance training. It is the expectation of the district that all remaining compliance trainings (anything over the first 6 hours required for compliance) are completed by August 19, prior to the first day of school and completed during normal workday hours during back-to-school PD week for para staff.
