New Resources and Courses for PRISM Education Members!

New Resource – Developing an Effective Injury and Illness Prevention Plan A safe workplace doesn’t just happen, it often takes a plan. California law requires every employer, including school districts, to have a written Injury and Illness Prevention Plan (IIPP). This plan should outline the steps your agency will take to identify and correct issues before someone gets hurt. In doing so, the plan lowers the chances of missed work, injuries, and expensive claims. For details on what your district's IIPP should include and practical tips to strengthen your program, check out our new Risk Simplified on Developing an Effective Injury and Illness Prevention Plan (IIPP). New and Updated Vector Solution Resources  Ethics Training Updated – Now Required for School Officials In September 2022, Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill 2158, which now requires a member of the governing board of a school district, a county board of education, or the governing body of a charter school to complete ethics training every two years during their term of service. The law applies to all members serving as of January 1, 2025, except those whose term ends before January 1, 2026. To assist districts in meeting this requirement, Vector Solutions has updated its CA Local Agency Ethics (AB1234) course. The course satisfies the requirements of California Government Code 53234 and provides an overview of key ethics laws, including conflict of interest, financial disclosures, government transparency, and fair process. If you need assistance accessing the Vector Solutions Learning Management System, contact Doug McGill. New Course – Human Trafficking Human trafficking is a serious problem in the United States, and some students may be affected while still attending school. A new course, Human Trafficking (EDU), is now available on the Vector Solutions platform. This course helps school staff learn what human trafficking is, how to spot signs that a student might be in danger, and what to do if they’re worried about a student’s safety. The goal is to help protect students and make schools a safer place for everyone. For assistance with the Vector Solutions Learning Management System, contact Doug McGill.
