Washington State Legislature approval of Substitute House Bill (SHB) 1556 requiring all High School students to receive CPR training as part of their health classes. Currently 36 States currently require CPR training for graduation from H.S. 10 of the remaining 14 states are working on making this a requirement. WA State report card: 12th Graders meeting Grade level score (EOC - end of course)in: Algebra: 19.9%, Geometry: 27.1%, Biology 26.4%. While we believe CPR is an important skill and can be learned by H.S. students, we think it raises the question about the Breadth and Depth of our educational system.
