AN ACT relating to education; requiring an emergency operations plan development committee for public and private school
Existing law requires the board of trustees of each school district to establish a plan for teachers and other licensed educational personnel in the school district who teach or supervise pupils in physical education to obtain training and certification in the administration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. (NRS 391.092) Section 1.5 of this bill additionally requires the governing body of a charter school to establish such a plan. Section 1.4 of this bill makes a conforming change to indicate the applicability of that requirement to charter schools. Existing regulations require coaches of a school team participating in an interscholastic activity or event governed by the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association to be certified in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and to complete certain training in administering first aid. (NAC 385B.798) Section 1.5 requires each coach, manager or athletic trainer in a school district or at a charter school who is not a pupil to obtain training and certification in the administration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Section 5 of this bill applies this requirement to each coach, manager or athletic trainer at a private school who is not a pupil. Existing law requires the board of trustees of each school district, the governing body of each charter school and the governing body of each private school to establish an emergency operations plan development committee to develop a plan for responding to certain emergencies in each school.
