Pennsylvania SB999 mandates seizure recognition and first aid training for school nurses and staff with student contact.
Pennsylvania SB999 amends the Public School Code to require school nurses to complete a Department of Health-approved course on seizure management, including recognition and first aid. Additionally, professional school employees who interact with students must complete training on seizure recognition and related first aid. This applies starting from the 2025-2026 school year. The bill ensures these trainings are consistent with policies adopted by the school entity and does not create or expand civil liability for school entities or employees.
