One high school in Woburn, MA is considering offering students a CPR elective.
In light of the recent Senate Bill 266, which would require all high school students across the country to know CPR as a requirement for graduation, the school committee is acting preemptively.
In addition to SB 266, House Bill 416, has also been filed, indicating strong interest by politicians to see some kind of change.
Michael Mulrenan, a board member of the Woburn high school believes the training should be offered to the students regardless of the bill.
Meanwhile, the cost of the CPR equipment is in question, but Mulrenan is hopeful.
