Pennsylvania HB1861 allows school districts to offer firefighter and emergency medical services training as credit-earning courses.
HB1861 amends the Public School Code of 1949 to permit school districts to provide firefighter and emergency medical services training as credit-earning courses for students aged 16 or older who are bona fide members of a fire company or emergency medical services agency. These courses may include Firefighter I training from the National Board on Fire Service Professional Qualifications and emergency medical technician training. The school district may offer transportation and supervision for off-campus training, but it is not responsible for course fees or materials.
