2003-04 Training Implications
•Assess core team membership •Train additional core team members •Train personnel meeting requirements for restraint and time-out use
At the beginning of the new school year, campuses should assess compliance with core team training requirements.  Training of additional personnel might be necessary to have a full complement of required core team members.
In addition to the membership requirements for the core team, during the school year, two circumstances will trigger the legal obligation for training.
Personnel called upon to use restraint in an emergency who have not received prior training must receive training within 30 school days following the use of restraint.
Newly-identified personnel called upon to implement time-out based on requirements established in a student’s IEP and/or BIP must receive training in the use of time-out within 30 school days of being assigned the responsibility for implementing time-out.
