Training to focus on sexual harassment and bullying prevention

To assist schools in creating positive school climates, the Office of Career and Technical Education will sponsor a sexual harassment and bullying prevention training session. The session will be held Jan. 25-26, 2005, in Pierre at the Kneip Building, 700 Governors Drive, Conference Room 3. The workshop will run 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days.

School administrators and Title IX coordinators are invited to attend the workshop. Participants will receive hands-on training on topics such as bullying prevention, sexual harassment, school climate, and Title IX. They also will develop school safety plans to implement in their schools. Training will be provided by Colorado State University’s Interwest Equity Assistance Center.

The training is limited to 50 participants. Cost is $30 per person, which pays for supplies, materials, breaks and a working lunch both days.

For more information and to request a registration form, call the Office of Career and Technical Education at (605) 773-3423. The pre-registration deadline is Jan. 14, 2005.

The training is cosponsored by the Interwest Equity Assistance Center, Denver, Colo., and the Department of Education’s Office of Career and Technical Education.
