Alaska SB20 mandates cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) education in public schools from kindergarten through grade 12.

Alaska SB20 requires each public school district to implement a health education program for students from kindergarten through grade 12. This program must include instruction on physical health, personal safety, and CPR. The CPR curriculum must be based on national, evidence-based emergency cardiovascular care guidelines, incorporate hands-on practice, and include instruction on the appropriate use of an automated external defibrillator. The Department of Education and Early Development is tasked with determining which grade levels require CPR instruction and adopting appropriate curricula.
