⭐Make sure to inform your participants that if they wish to apply for TxSSC School Behavioral Threat Assessment Advanced Training, they will need to inform TxSSC that they attended an ESC training, as well as provide a copy of the ESC training certificate.

 

⭐After you complete your training with school system/district staff, make sure to click ESC Training Report Submission link to report participant information.
