SUMMARY:Dangerous Behavior and Prevention Training District 6 & 7
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE *Registration closes Thursday\, January 8th at 5pm.  \nTo help increase workplace and student safety\, MEA helped pass the Dangerous Behavior and Prevention and Intervention Law.

After the training\, you will know: 1. What constitutes a dangerous behavior. 2. What protections are in place and covered by the law. 3. The protocols your district should have in place. 4. How your union can ensure administration is held accountable in addressing dangerous behavior. 5. How to navigate the report process.
