Grant funds for Student CPR training will expire at the conclusion of the 25/26 school year. Funding from the state for CPR training will no longer be provided.
CPR Training will still be required as codified in code 53G-10-408 and USBE Rule as R277-465 to provide this instruction to students. LEAs are required to provide CPR instruction to all students consistent with the Health Education Core Standards and as required in Subsection 53G-10-408(5).
Health students do not need to be CPR certified, but are required to receive CPR training as outlined below.
An LEA shall provide hands-on CPR instruction using the following ratios as closely as possible: a student to instructor ratio of no greater than 15:1; and a mannequin to student ratio no greater than 1:6.
Moving forward, there are options for JSD principals and health teachers to choose from to meet the criteria at your school:
1) Provide training from a licensed and CPR Certified Teacher within your school
*2) Schedule JATC-S to deliver this instruction (Contact Sean Garrett. Sean.Garrett@jordandistrict.org)
*3) Contract with the local EMS for a certified instructor to train students
*4) Contract with a third party who specializes in CPR/AED instruction to provide the
Instruction (See attached)
*Options 2-4 would require Principals to build these funds into their budgets for the 26/27 school year.
