The Block Grant Act states that new employees should receive training on 10 topics plus continuing training.  The standards are being revised to meet the specifications in theCCBDG.  The State of Virginia has turned that directive into excessive, confusing and confliciting directives on staff training.  These new training requirements need to receive serious reconsideration for effectiveness and clarity.  Again, we are spending thousands of dollars on training staff withing the first 30 days of hire when many aren't employeed 90 days later.
