What is Mandatory Compliance Training?

State and Federal regulations require that all school district employees complete mandatory compliance training every year on a variety of topics. The list of required topics includes the following:

Anaphylaxis and Anaphylactic Shock, Child Abuse NY, Child Internet Protections Act (CIPA), Digital Security and Protection, Dignity for All Students Act/Code of Conduct - NY, FERPA, General Harassment, Sexual Harassment NY - State Mandated, and Student Data Privacy (NYS EdLaw Section 2-d) (to be completed by December 31, 2023).

The compliance training associated with these topics is intended to provide employees with information to promote a safe and healthy work environment. While all employees must complete compliance training annually on the topics listed above, the District may also require that certain employee groups complete training related to other topics that are relevant to their work responsibilities.

How will faculty and staff members complete the compliance training?

GCN provides online training tutorials that employees can complete using any computer that has an internet connection, internal or external speakers, and the latest version of Adobe Macromedia Flashplayer™. Employees will log onto the GCN website and complete the required training tutorials according to the deadlines established by the Office of Human Resources. The time needed to complete each online tutorial varies from 7 to 30 minutes, and employees may complete the required tutorials in one session or in separate sessions.
