| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Critical Health Problems and Comprehensive | ||||
Health
Education Act is amended by changing Section 3 as | ||||
follows:
| ||||
(105 ILCS 110/3) (from Ch. 122, par. 863)
| ||||
Sec. 3. Comprehensive Health Education Program. The | ||||
program established
under this Act shall include, but not be | ||||
limited to, the following major
educational areas as a basis | ||||
for curricula in all elementary and secondary
schools in this | ||||
State: human ecology and health, human growth and
development, | ||||
the emotional, psychological, physiological, hygienic and
| ||||
social responsibilities of family life, including sexual | ||||
abstinence until
marriage, prevention and control of disease, | ||||
including instruction in
grades 6 through 12 on the prevention, | ||||
transmission and spread of AIDS,
sexual assault awareness in | ||||
secondary schools, public and environmental health, consumer | ||||
health, safety education and
disaster survival, mental health | ||||
and illness, personal health habits,
alcohol, drug use, and | ||||
abuse including the medical and legal ramifications
of alcohol, | ||||
drug, and tobacco use, abuse during pregnancy, sexual
| ||||
abstinence until marriage, tobacco, nutrition, and dental | ||||
health. The program shall also provide course material and | ||
instruction to advise pupils of the Abandoned Newborn Infant | ||
Protection Act.
Notwithstanding the above educational areas, | ||
the following areas may also
be included as a basis for | ||
curricula in all elementary and secondary
schools in this | ||
State: basic first aid (including, but not limited to,
| ||
cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the Heimlich maneuver), | ||
early prevention
and detection of cancer, heart disease, | ||
diabetes, stroke, and the
prevention of child abuse, neglect, | ||
and suicide.
The school board of each
public elementary and | ||
secondary school in the State
shall encourage all teachers and | ||
other school personnel to acquire,
develop, and maintain the | ||
knowledge and skills necessary to properly
administer | ||
life-saving techniques, including without limitation the
| ||
Heimlich maneuver and rescue breathing.
The training shall be | ||
in
accordance with standards of the
American Red Cross, the | ||
American Heart Association, or another nationally
recognized | ||
certifying organization.
A school board may use the
services of | ||
non-governmental entities whose personnel have expertise in
| ||
life-saving techniques to instruct teachers and other school | ||
personnel in
these techniques. Each school board
is encouraged | ||
to have in
its employ, or on its volunteer staff, at least one | ||
person who is certified, by
the American Red Cross or by | ||
another qualified certifying agency,
as qualified to | ||
administer first aid and
cardiopulmonary resuscitation. In | ||
addition, each school board is authorized to
allocate | ||
appropriate portions of its institute or inservice days to | ||
conduct
training programs for teachers and other school | ||
personnel who have expressed an
interest in becoming qualified | ||
to administer emergency first aid or
cardiopulmonary | ||
resuscitation. School boards are urged to
encourage their | ||
teachers and other school personnel who coach school athletic
| ||
programs and other extracurricular school activities to | ||
acquire, develop, and
maintain the knowledge and skills | ||
necessary to properly administer first aid
and cardiopulmonary | ||
resuscitation in accordance with standards and requirements
| ||
established by the American Red Cross or another qualified | ||
certifying agency.
No pupil shall be
required to take or | ||
participate in any class or course on AIDS or family
life | ||
instruction if his parent or guardian submits written objection
| ||
thereto, and refusal to take or participate in the course or | ||
program shall
not be reason for suspension or expulsion of the | ||
pupil.
| ||
Curricula developed under programs established in | ||
accordance with this
Act in the major educational area of | ||
alcohol and drug use and abuse shall
include classroom | ||
instruction in grades 5 through 12. The instruction,
which | ||
shall include matters relating to both the physical and legal | ||
effects
and ramifications of drug and substance abuse, shall be | ||
integrated into
existing curricula; and the State Board of | ||
Education shall develop and make
available to all elementary | ||
and secondary schools in this State
instructional materials and | ||
guidelines which will assist the schools in
incorporating the | ||
instruction into their existing curricula. In
addition, school | ||
districts may offer, as part of existing curricula during
the | ||
school day or as part of an after school program, support | ||
services and
instruction for pupils or pupils whose parent, | ||
parents, or guardians are
chemically dependent.
