Staff Training
Paragraph E
Within 30 days of the first day of employment, staff must complete orientation training in first aid and CPR...
This is also addressed in:
First Aid Training, CPR
Paragraph A 1,2
At least one staff in each classroom... shall have within 90 days... CPR & First Aid
This needs clarification as the regulations are contradictory. One regulation says at least one staff person per classroom, the other indicates everyone on staff. Having one person per classroom is certainly enough.
Additionally making the requirement within 30 days is not feasible. In today's environment and for the foreseeable future scheduling a trainer is not easy and rarely doable in 30 days. 90 days allows schools to more realistically be able to stay in compliance.
