Which group requires 20 hours of annual training?

• A. Child-placing staff with at least one year of child-placing experience.
• B. Caregivers.
• C. Administrators.
• D. Transportation staff.

Answer: (A)

Annual training hours in Texas LCPAA rules vary by role and experience, and the group that directly handles child-placing tasks with established experience is required to complete 20 hours each year. This ensures those actively involved in placement decisions stay current on safety protocols, regulatory changes, and best practices, given their impact on children’s welfare. The other groups have different training requirements, so the 20-hour threshold applies specifically to child-placing staff who have at least one year of experience, making this option the best match.
