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.

Target Audience: PIO Representatives & Cabinet Representatives

The NASDTEC Educator Identification Clearinghouse is the national collection point for professional educator discipline actions taken throughout the US.

NASDTEC staff will provide an overview of the Clearinghouse as well as detailed instructions on how to utilize the online platform. Participants will learn how to efficiently check the credentials of certificated applicants during the onboarding process. The Clearinghouse will report employment and address discrepancies, as well as other red flags that may require further review or clarification. NASDTEC will increase the safety of students since it expands the clearance process to identify certificated employee candidates who may have a history of potentially unsafe practices. It is imperative that Human Resources utilize NASDTEC to foster safe learning environments for all students and staff.
