| 1 | | personnel in
these techniques. Each school board
is encouraged | 2 | | to have in
its employ, or on its volunteer staff, at least one | 3 | | person who is certified, by
the American Red Cross or by | 4 | | another qualified certifying agency,
as qualified to | 5 | | administer first aid and
cardiopulmonary resuscitation. In | 6 | | addition, each school board is authorized to
allocate | 7 | | appropriate portions of its institute or inservice days to | 8 | | conduct
training programs for teachers and other school | 9 | | personnel who have expressed an
interest in becoming qualified | 10 | | to administer emergency first aid or
cardiopulmonary | 11 | | resuscitation. School boards are urged to
encourage their | 12 | | teachers and other school personnel who coach school athletic
| 13 | | programs and other extracurricular school activities to | 14 | | acquire, develop, and
maintain the knowledge and skills | 15 | | necessary to properly administer first aid
and cardiopulmonary | 16 | | resuscitation in accordance with standards and requirements
| 17 | | established by the American Red Cross or another qualified | 18 | | certifying agency. Subject to appropriation, the State Board | 19 | | of Education shall establish and administer a matching grant | 20 | | program to pay for half of the cost that a school district | 21 | | incurs in training those teachers and other school personnel | 22 | | who express an interest in becoming qualified to administer | 23 | | cardiopulmonary resuscitation (which training must be in
| 24 | | accordance with standards of the
American Red Cross, the | 25 | | American Heart Association, or another nationally
recognized | 26 | | certifying organization) or in learning how to use an |

|
| 1 | | automated external defibrillator. A school district that | 2 | | applies for a grant must demonstrate that it has funds to pay | 3 | | half of the cost of the training for which matching grant money | 4 | | is sought. The State Board of Education shall award the grants | 5 | | on a first-come, first-serve basis.
| 6 | | No pupil shall be
required to take or participate in any | 7 | | class or course on AIDS or family
life instruction or to | 8 | | receive training on how to properly administer cardiopulmonary | 9 | | resuscitation or how to use an automated external | 10 | | defibrillator if his or her parent or guardian submits written | 11 | | objection
thereto, and refusal to take or participate in the | 12 | | course or program or the training shall
not be reason for | 13 | | suspension or expulsion of the pupil.
| 14 | | Curricula developed under programs established in | 15 | | accordance with this
Act in the major educational area of | 16 | | alcohol and drug use and abuse shall
include classroom | 17 | | instruction in grades 5 through 12. The instruction,
which | 18 | | shall include matters relating to both the physical and legal | 19 | | effects
and ramifications of drug and substance abuse, shall | 20 | | be integrated into
existing curricula; and the State Board of | 21 | | Education shall develop and make
