Requiring certain school district employees to receive training in seizure recognition and related first aid.
SB 162 requires Kansas school districts to provide up to one hour of seizure recognition and first aid training to all employees working in school buildings with students diagnosed with seizure disorders, starting in the 2025-2026 school year. The training must align with nationally-recognized epilepsy guidelines and cover identifying seizures, responding appropriately, and administering seizure rescue medication. Parents must provide a written seizure action plan, medication authorization, and healthcare provider documentation before medication can be given, which schools must maintain on file. The bill also grants immunity from liability for schools implementing these requirements.
