NEW Online Course: Addressing and Preventing Adult Sexual
Misconduct in the School Setting

Does your education agency have policies and procedures on adult sexual misconduct (ASM)? Are they, along with your school emergency operations plan (EOP), aligned with national, state, and local recommendations? To support K-12 school safety teams in protecting students, the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Safe and Supportive Schools and its REMS TA Center are pleased to provide a NEW online course: Addressing and Preventing Adult Sexual Misconduct (ASM) in the School Setting.
