· If you work in a CLC that has students with behavior disorders (even if you are not specifically assigned to such a student), or if you are in a position that requires interaction with students with behavioral disorders, the District MUST provide you with “Right Response” or similar training. In fact, if you are newly assigned to such a position, you are required to get this training. This training is at your regular rate of pay---not from professional hours.
If you’ve already had the training, the recertification classes will be offered January through April. And there will be a recertification class on the March 22 NESPA Day.
For information on these classes, contact Lynn Brewer at lbrewer@nsd.org or at ext. 7738. If you believe your need this training, and are denied, please contact NESPA staffperson Kraig Peck at kpeck@washingtonea.org.
· As a result of an agreement between NSEA (teachers) and administration, teachers will be writing a District Safety Procedure Handbook addressing common problems.
· Later this year, each school will be preparing a crisis response plan that outlines procedures to be followed when a student engages in dangerous behavior.
· Severe and Profound students cannot be sent to the nurse’s office without another adult staying there with them.
· A new eSIS (computerized student records) system is to be piloted that will include DOCUMENTATIONOF ALL INCIDENTS, so that the next staff who work with a student will have complete information, and can avoid injury .
