TN HB0506

Each LEA and public charter school must have at least one full-time employee per school receive annual training in seizure safety and first aid to assist students and staff during emergencies

Training for personnel who volunteer to administer anti-seizure medications under existing law satisfies this requirement if it includes seizure safety and first aid components

LEAs, public charter schools, and their trained employees are protected from liability for personal injuries resulting from their actions, unless the conduct amounts to willful misconduct, wanton misconduct, or gross negligence

School nurses employed by or under contract with the LEA or public charter school are excluded from the "employee" definition for this training requirement
