SB 1009: high school students; AED training
Sponsor: Senator Kavanagh, LD 3
Committee on Education
Overview
Requires school districts and charter schools to provide one or more training sessions in the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to high school students.
History
School districts and charter schools must provide students with one or more training sessions in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) during high school that: 1) are based on the most current national evidence-based emergency cardiovascular care guidelines for CPR; and 2) include the hands-on practicing of CPR. Students may be assigned homework to satisfy the CPR instruction requirement if a teacher or parent verifies that the student completed the homework. A student must be excused from CPR instruction if: 1) the student's parent or individualized education program team request the student to be excused; or 2) a student provides written documentation that they previously received CPR training or are currently CPR certified. CPR instruction that results in certification must be provided by a certified trainer, though a teacher or administrator who oversees the instruction is not required to be certified if the instruction does not result in CPR certification. Statute details the individuals that may provide the CPR instruction and training (A.R.S. § 15-718.01).
A person may claim the public school extracurricular activity fees credit for the amount of any fees paid or cash contributions to a public school for specified public school purposes, including CPR training (A.R.S. § 43-1089.01).
