The nurse before me was a certified CPR instructor, and provided the instruction to our teachers. I am not certified. The coaches in our district are required to be CPR certified. I am working on getting some instructors here, from our local Hospice, yet the plans keep falling through. Do you any of you provide this service? Who do you use?

Staff from our local Fire Dept provide this service for us. The only glitch is when they have to leave on a call during the class. I would say that has happened once or twice in ten years.
Never thought about the local fire department. I'll look into that! Thanks!

We use the local fire dept. also and we have a few parents that are certified that have volunteered in the past.
