One question needs to be answered.  See the description below.
Description:

*Question 1.
For districts that have a practice of providing instruction in life-saving techniques and first-aid in their staff development programs, insert the following optional paragraph that restates 105 ILCS 5/3-11, 105 ILCS 110/3, and 77 Ill.Admin.Code §527.800:

"An opportunity shall be provided for all staff members to acquire, develop, and maintain the knowledge and skills necessary to properly administer life-saving techniques and first aid, including the Heimlich maneuver, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and the use of an automated external defibrillator, in accordance with a nationally recognized certifying organization. Physical fitness facilities’ staff must be trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and use of an automated external defibrillator."

Persons performing CPR are generally exempt from civil liability if they are trained in CPR (745 ILCS 49/10); persons performing automated external defibrillation are generally exempt from civil liability if they were trained and acted according to the standards of the American Heart Association (745 ILCS 49/12).

Would the board like to add the optional paragraph shown above, restating 105 ILCS 5/3-11, 105 ILCS 110/3, and 77 Ill.Admin.Code §527.800?

 No. (Default)
 Yes. (IASB will add the optional paragraph shown above, restating 105 ILCS 5/3-11, 105 ILCS 110/3, and 77 Ill.Admin.Code §527.800.)
