/ (B) A CPR instruction program established pursuant to subsection (A) must incorporate instruction of psychomotor skills necessary to perform CPR developed by the American Heart Association, the American Red Cross, or an instructional program that is nationally recognized and based on the most current national evidence-based emergency cardiovascular care guidelines for CPR and the operational knowledge of an AED; provided virtual schools may administer the instruction virtually, exempt from any in-person instructional requirements. A local school district shall coordinate with entities that have the experience and necessary equipment for the instruction of CPR and the operational knowledge of AEDs and shall adopt a policy providing a waiver for the absence of a student from the instruction required under this section, a student with a disability whose individualized education program indicates such student is unable to complete all or a portion of the hands-only CPR requirement, and a student whose parent or guardian completes, in writing, a form approved by the school district opting out of hands-only CPR and AED instruction. School districts shall begin complying with the provisions of this section no later than the beginning of the 2016-2017 school year." /
