How Many School Committees Can Be Trained at One Time?
As the training involves much interaction between participants and the certified Olweus trainer, and building-level planning, no more than two schools’ Bullying Prevention Coordinating Committees may be trained at one time by a certified Olweus trainer. If two trainers are present, they may train up to three committees at one time. If two trainers are present (required when three school committees are being trained), fees may increase accordingly, up to a maximum of $4,500 for the two-day training. Contracts for the training and consultation are made between the trainer and the schools. Aside from “capping” the training fees, neither Clemson University nor Hazelden Publishing are involved in setting the fees for independent trainers. Some states have developed statewide networks of trainers that may be available at no charge or reduced fees to schools.
