| As of July 1, 2025, a new training requirement is in effect for teachers and other certificated staff serving grades 7–12. Assembly Bill 5 (The Safe and Supportive Schools Act) amends Education Code Section 218, which now requires a minimum of one hour of annual LGBTQ+ cultural competency training over the next five years. To meet this mandate, the California Department of Education (CDE) launched a free online training program. To learn more about this training, visit PRISM’s Blog. |

| New Harassment Prevention Training Courses Available |
|
|
Vector Solutions has released two courses: Harassment Prevention for Employees, and Harassment Prevention for Supervisors. Both are now available for assignment through the Vector Solutions LMS platform.
California law requires employers with five or more employees to provide at least two hours of interactive harassment prevention training to supervisory employees, and one hour to non-supervisory employees—every two years. These brand new courses feature video-based scenarios and include content on the prevention of abusive conduct, as well as practical examples of harassment based on gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation.
For assistance accessing the courses, or getting started with Vector Solutions, please contact Doug McGill. |
