MANDATED REPORTER TRAINING
Under a new California law, Senate Bill 848, adult volunteers who work with students are now required to complete Mandated Reporter Training annually. This training is online and self-paced (about two hours). Please note: You may notice that the certificate issued at the end of the training lists an expiration date of two years. Because state law supersedes the generic date printed on vendor certificates, our organization must enforce the legal 1-year renewal schedule.
Read more and complete your training today!
