Agenda Item #17 Item Title C-17 Continue training in the Safe Crisis Management Program for ESE employees for school year 2009-2010. Issue/Rationale Currently school personnel must manage students physically for the protection of the student and others. The School Board adopts a series of techniques that have been designed to avoid injury. We are again requesting approval to utilize and train JKL Management's Safe Crisis Management Program. Personnel have been trained and using this program for past years. This program provides an effective, safe management technique for the restraint of students whose behaviors require personnel to intervene. The program promotes safety and reduces the potential liability. It is now required for employment for Behavioral Health Assistants, who work in ASD, E/BD, and as Individual Assistants. Recommended Action The Superintendent recommends approval. Financial Impact Training will be required in some job positions. Initial training of trainer is supported by grant funds. Updating and training of most Clay personnel is then provided by these trainers. Both ESE funds and grant funds are then utilized, costing approximately $20,000.00 per year.
