Great Valley High School to expand CPR training; district confirms supports for student-paid field trips
The board reviewed a purchase of CPR training supplies for Great Valley High School's ninth‑ and eleventh‑grade health classes. Technology/health staff said the supplies include training dummies, face shields, masks and certification cards to support a graduation pathway under Act 158.

Board members confirmed that offering CPR as a pathway means students graduating from Great Valley High School will receive CPR training as part of their pathways options. Administrators noted that the high school has been pursuing this pathway and that the health and physical education department chair (Mr. Casper) has been leading efforts to expand certification access for students.

Separately, the board reviewed several field trip items including a student‑paid Hershey Park trip for 11th and some 12th graders (scheduled for May 27–28 next year), a middle school 8th‑grade trip to Arrowhead (May 2026) and various elementary grade‑level trips. Administrators said high school staff verify funds to support students with economic hardship so entrance fees are not a barrier.

No formal action was taken at the work session; these items remain on the consent or upcoming business agenda for the board to consider.
