Committee questions CPR training, digital literacy credit and club-sport substitutions
Summary
Committee members challenged language requiring 'a minimum of 1 class period' for CPR training, discussed digital literacy as a standalone credit, and pressed staff for a clear list and process for district-recognized club sports and the 18-week substitution rule.
Chair read health-and-wellness language that requires each student to receive "a minimum of 1 class period on physiomotor cardiopulmonary resuscitation training" in line with American Heart Association guidelines and asked whether students who already hold certificates (for example, lifeguards) can be credited without repeating the full lesson. Committee members argued that the language should allow showing proof of existing certification rather than requiring repetition.
The group also reviewed a draft digital literacy requirement: "The digital literacy course shall be 1 stand alone course..." and discussed PE substitution: students participating in a district-recognized sport season or recognized club sport, or 18 weeks of district-recognized sport, may substitute participation for up to one PE credit. Members requested that staff identify where the official list of district-recognized club sports resides and suggested detailing a process to add or recognize additional club sports such as gymnastics.
