Wed May 25 10:54:23 CDT 2016

This is what our transcripts have:
The student has received instruction in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and awareness of the purpose of an automated defibrillator.

The statement wording Melissa suggested was "The student has received instruction in CPR and awareness of the purpose of an automated external defibrillator (AED)."  We are putting it on our kids' transcripts.  If nothing else, it helps with record-keeping for alllll the kids that move to and from other school districts. :)

According to the School Law Book, it does not require you to have a statement on the transcript.  It may have been suggested by Melissa when she worked at SDE but it is not in the law to put it on the transcript.  Your RAO's (Regional Accreditation Officer) would monitor that your school has fulfilled the law.

Section 1182. Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Instruction Programs in High Schools.
A. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "Dustin Rhodes and Lindsay Steed CPR Training Act".
B. Beginning with the 2015-2016 school year, all students enrolled in grades nine through twelve in the public
schools of this state shall receive instruction in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and awareness of the purpose of an
automated external defibrillator, in accordance with subsection C of this section, at least once between ninth grade and
graduation from high school. The instruction may be provided as a part of any course. A school administrator may
waive the curriculum requirement required by this subsection for an eligible student who has a disability. A student shall
not be required to meet the requirement of this subsection if a parent or guardian of the student objects in writing. All
students enrolled in a virtual charter school in grades nine through twelve shall not be subject to the requirements of this
section. All students enrolled in physical education classes in grades nine through twelve may receive instruction in the
techniques of the Heimlich maneuver.
C. The State Board of Education shall establish a procedure for monitoring the requirements set forth in
subsection B of this section. Instruction in cardiopulmonary resuscitation shall incorporate psychomotor skills training
and shall be based upon an instructional program which is nationally recognized and is based upon the most current
national evidence-based Emergency Cardiovascular Care guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the use of
an automated external defibrillator.
D. Each public school district board of education shall ensure that a minimum of one certified teacher and one
noncertified staff member at each school site receives training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the Heimlich
maneuver each year.
726
E. School districts may use state funds allocated to the school district for professional development to pay for
or to reimburse teachers and support personnel for training in the administration of first aid and techniques of
cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the Heimlich maneuver.
F. Nothing in this section shall be construed to impose liability on any school district or school district
employee for injury or death of any student, teacher, or other person resulting from any cardiopulmonary or choking
incident or to absolve any school district or school employee of liability that might otherwise exist under The
Governmental Tort Claims Act.
G. For purposes of this section, "psychomotor skills" means the use of hands-on practice to support cognitive learning.
H. A school district may use emergency medical technicians, paramedics, police officers, firefighters, teachers, other
school employees or other similarly qualified individuals or organizations to provide the instruction prescribed by this
section. Two or more school districts may enter into an interlocal or multidistrict cooperative agreement for the purpose
of jointly and comparatively fulfilling the requirements of this section. Instruction provided pursuant to this section is
not required to result in certification in cardiopulmonary resuscitation. If instruction is intended to result in certification
in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the course instructor shall be authorized by an instructional program which is nationally
recognized and is based upon the most current national evidence-based Emergency Cardiovascular Care guidelines for
cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the use of an automated external defibrillator or a similar nationally recognized association to provide the instruction. (70-1210.199)
