Bill Summary

Requires boards of education to ensure that all staff are trained in care of students with epilepsy and seizure disorders every five years.

AI Summary

This bill requires boards of education to ensure that all school staff, including those involved in school-sponsored programs outside of regular school hours, receive training every five years on how to care for students with epilepsy and seizure disorders, which are medical conditions characterized by recurrent seizures. This training must be provided through an on-line or in-person course approved by the Department of Health and offered by a national nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting individuals with epilepsy and seizure disorders. This change updates a previous requirement for training every two years and aims to enhance the preparedness of school personnel to assist students experiencing seizures.
