Why are we here? Training is IMPORTANT because: Training is REQUIRED because: • A safe school environment is better able to promote effective teaching and learning. • Lack of knowledge of the law will not protect you or your students from the consequences of inappropriate actions. • Preparing appropriate responses to potentially dangerous circumstances helps to minimize or eliminate negative consequences. If you have any questions about information contained in this training, please contact your building principal • Training is required to all public education programs including school events and school sponsored activities and mandated by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary & Secondary Education (DESE).
