Are your teachers CPR certified?

[C-HAWK]

Hello everyone! I am wrapping up my first year as a school nurse in an elementary school. I have had lots of epi pen training for field trips recently (tis the season) and it has come to my attention that the teachers in my district aren't required to be CPR certified. I am wondering if this is typical of other districts around the country.

None of ours are required to have CPR cert but a majority of them do and have a desire to obtain it. We are a charter school so the admins push for parents to give back to the school in some way. We have 2 moms who are CPR instructors so the school buys the supplies and pays like $8 per person for the actual card but otherwise they offer the classes for free. We are trying to get everyone to have it but I settled this year (since I just started in Dec) to have at least 1 in each grade, PE, and admin certified.
