Just received some new policies regarding those who work with children. There are many good changes, but they will require some creativity in smaller wards. Don't have the letter in front of me right now, but going from memory a few of the new rules (there were old policy reminders as well):

1) Any male called to teach a primary class needs to have a second male in the room with him. No more male primary teachers teaching solo. A married couple is still ok obviously.

2) Doors of classrooms with primary children should have windows in them.

3) Anytime a member of the bishopric is extending a calling or in an interview with a child or a woman, somebody should be appointed to be outside the door.

There are several others, but #1 will have an immediate effect on smaller wards. It almost precludes calling male teachers into the primary.
