CPR in Sch ools trainings will begin this fall in response to the new state law requiring all students in Wisconsin schools to be introduced to Hands-Only CPR training between grades 7-12. Trainings will be held at your local CESA office and will last approximately 90 minutes. Training will not result in CPR certification for the instructors or students and teacher 's are not required to become certified CPR instructors to teach this material. The target groups for fall trainings are rural and high poverty schools in Wisconsin. There will be a maximum of 20 spaces available at each training session and there will be another series of trainings in the spring.

Participants in the CPR in Sch ools trainings will receive a CPR kit for their schools. Because this program is grant funded there will be only one kit placed at each school. Extra kits can be checked out from your local CESA office. The fee each school will pay for the kit is based on % Free and Reduced numbers.

Background heart information, classroom toolkits, curriculum, kit contents, potential community partners, teacher responsibilities, and Hands-Only CPR will be covered in the trainings. Kits will be sent directly to the schools after trainings are completed.

CESA 12 CPR in Sch ools trainings are scheduled for Friday, December 2nd from 1-2:30 pm and Friday May 5th from 1-2:30 pm.
