All California public schools (K- 12th grade) are required to develop and maintain a Comprehensive School Safety Plan (CSSP), per California Education Code sections 32280-32289.5.

The CSSP must be reviewed and updated annually by a school’s School Site Council and adopted by the School Board by March 1 of each calendar year.

2023-02-21 08:00 - 16:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | ASCIP Training Room, 12610 Park Plaza Drive, Cerritos, CA, 90703, United States
This 8-hour training is the minimum required under current State law for those employees who must respond to incidents involving the potential or actual release of a toxic or hazardous substance. This training allows the first responder to gain a basic understanding of the potential risks involved in dealing with such incidents and how they may be resolved in an appropriate and safe manner. This level of awareness training is not sufficient for actual hands-on cleanup and mitigation of toxic or hazardous releases but will provide information necessary for first responders to use when making decisions to ensure continued personal and environmental safety. ASCIP’s hazardous materials management and disposal consultant, IEL Consulting, will offer this informative presentation which is intended to assist individuals who are required to respond to releases of potentially hazardous materials. Attendees must be present for the entire program to receive a training certificate.
Location: ASCIP Training Room, 16550 Bloomfield Avenue, Cerritos, 90703
Presenter: Larry Neenan, IEL Consulting

Improving Staff Mental Health for Schools Webinar
2023-02-22 09:00 - 10:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Webinar
Supporting mental health in the workplace is no longer a “nice gesture” but a necessity, especially when employees are those working with and around students. “Quiet quitting” and the “Great Resignation,” along with a noticeable increase in mental health challenges cannot be ignored. Administrators have the opportunity and power to make their school/district an engine for positive mental health and wellbeing. Supporting employee mental health is supporting student mental health and the overall success of the school and district. This workshop will challenge school administrators to rethink how they protect workers from harm, foster a sense of connection among workers, demonstrate that workers matter, encourage positive and healthy lives outside of work and support professional and personal growth.

Presenter: Sherry Colgan Stone, Ed.D., Stone Campus Safety and Katarina Roy Schanz, Ed.D.

Responding to Press and Public When CSA Incidents Occur
2023-03-16 14:30 - 15:45 (America/Los_Angeles) | Webinar
During times of crisis, it is imperative that districts are prepared to respond to questions, concerns while sending a message of safety and support. Most often districts do not have adequate time to develop and prepare the responses brought on by the barrage of press and media requests. When incidents of childhood sexual assault occur, the impact can be felt by students, staff and community and requires an astute level of sensitivity and authenticity. This presentation will provide tips, templates, and strategies to support district preparedness and response when crisis occurs.
