This instruction will be offered without charge to the special education drivers and to the emergency standby drivers as defined under Section I-A, III-G-280 and III-G-290 of these Specifications.
The First Aid courses will be open to all District special education route drivers, and to an additional number of spare drivers equal to ten percent (10%) of the total special education drivers.
First Aid/CPR training sessions will be offered on weekdays, weeknights, and Saturdays during August and September 2003, and shall be offered periodically on weeknights and week ends during the school year. Compliance of all special education drivers with this requirement is a mandatory condition of the transportation contract.

Any driver with current American Red Cross CPR/First Aid certification must supply the Transportation Safety Coordinator with a copy of the certification card.
