CPR Training is codified as 53G-10-408 and is written into USBE Rule as R277-465. This requires LEAs to provide CPR instruction to all students consistent with the Health Education Core Standards and as required in Subsection 53G-10-408(5).
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.
Health students do not need to be CPR certified, but are required to receive CPR training as outlined below.
There are options for JSD principals and health teachers to choose from to meet the criteria at your school:
- Provide training from a licensed and CPR Certified Teacher within your school
- Schedule JATC-S to deliver this instruction (Contact Sean Garrett. Sean.Garrett@jordandistrict.org)
- Contract with the local EMS for a certified instructor to train students
- Contract with a third party who specializes in CPR/AED instruction to provide the Instruction (See attached)
Teaching & Learning will be utilizing a state grant to reimburse the costs of local EMS/Third Party services at a maximum of $6/per student. Contracted teachers are not eligible for this reimbursement.
Funds from this grant will expire at the conclusion of the 2025-26 school year.
