• Schools shall provide at least two opportunities each year for students to attend the required prevention training and ensure all enrolled students participate.

• New school employees must receive training on recognizing and preventing child sexual abuse as part of orientation, and existing employees must receive training on a schedule set by the school district or charter school; teachers and administrators who completed prevention training under section 15-218 are exempt.

• Each school district or charter school must describe the education and training program in an informational handbook or on the school's website, and each public school must post the Department of Child Safety's toll-free abuse reporting number in a clearly visible public location.
