[CASL-L] Library Para Learning Resources

[Cheryl Robertson]

Hi all,
Could anyone shed some light on the 18 hours of PD required for paras?
Since our library para is in a category of her own, she is not included in
emails from the Special Education department.  It sounds as though it's
required of all paras, but how is it monitored?  When did this requirement
start?  Would trainings like ALICE or Bloodborne Pathogens count?  Thanks
in advance for enlightening me.
Best wishes,
Cheryl
