Mandated Training

mandated training

Beginning for the 2023-2024 school year, NUSD has adopted the PublicSchoolWORKS system for mandated training and annual notifications, previously accessed via MyNUSDPortal. In order to meet mandated training and annual notification requirements, you will automatically be assigned online courses in PublicSchoolWORKS.

While all necessary documents can be found in PublicSchoolWORKS, know that you can always reference NUSD’s Board policies for Bloodborne Pathogens Exposure Prevention, Bullying Recognition and Response, Mandated Reporter: Child Abuse and Neglect, Sexual Harassment, Suicide Prevention, Workplace Bullying, Professional Boundaries and more on our website.

Your mandated training assignments have been assigned in the Public School Works program. All employees, substitutes, interns, and contractors working on behalf of the district are issued an active account.

Troubleshooting Tips:

If you find that the program stops or hesitates, please try the following steps:

  • Make sure you are using a recent version of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer or Safari. If you have any pending updates they may need to be completed to move forward with training.
  • Clear your browser’s cache, which is typically located under your browser’s history settings.
  • It is possible that device-specific browser extensions and/or pop-up blockers may be interfering with your training. Try accessing the training from another browser to rule out this possibility.

Thank you in advance for learning about these important issues and completing the requirements.
