Board receives first reading of state-mandated cardiac emergency response policy (EBBG)
Summary
As required by Senate Bill 19, the board received a first reading of policy EBBG (cardiac emergency response planning); administration will bring the policy back as an action item at the next regular meeting and implement operational elements via the district emergency operations plan.
The board took a first reading of proposed board policy EBBG, a cardiac emergency response planning policy developed following Senate Bill 19. The policy is a state-mandated requirement for the upcoming 2025-26 school year and was drafted in partnership with KASB legal counsel and KSDE.
Lede: Administration presented the policy as a first reading and told the board the policy will return for action at the next board meeting and will be operationalized through the district's emergency operations plan.
Nut graf: The policy was presented as largely model language recommended statewide; the administration said the majority of Kansas districts are expected to adopt the same or similar language to comply with the statute.
Board process and next steps
The board will consider EBBG for approval at the board's next meeting. Administration will align the policy with building-level emergency plans and the district's operational protocols.
Ending: No vote was taken on the policy at the July 7 meeting; the matter will return as an action item at the following meeting.
