High School CPR Toolkits Available to our Schools
Lauren's Law, enacted in July 2014, requires that all secondary schools provide training in Bystander CPR and Automated External Defibrillators (AED) education as part of the health education curriculum. The Illinois State Board of Education provides a guidance document on this law, available at www.isbe.net/pdf/ school_health/guidance-15-06-CPR-AED-secondary-schools150801.pdf .
To help schools with the cost and materials necessary to meet this requirement, Illinois Heart Rescue has created High School CPR Toolkits for schools' use. Each toolkit will include 16 stackable and durable mannequins, two AED trainers, educational support materials including key messaging highlights, and reference materials. Each kit also contains a CPR training DVD that is available in five languages.
Regional Offices of Education (ROEs) via the Illinois State Board of Education will house the CPR toolkits. Individual schools will be able to "check out" the CPR High School Toolkits as needed through the ROEs.
The Carlinville ROE now has the kits available for check out to all of the schools within our district. Please contact the Carlinville ROE office at 217-854-4016 if you would like to schedule training for your high school students.
