Clovis Unified School District provides several opportunities throughout the year for employees & District volunteers to receive initial training and/or recertification in CPR, AED, and First Aid at no cost to the participant.

There are six certification classes held over the calendar year, with four held during the school year and two held during the summer. The training program currently has two employees who are class instructor trainers & 54 employees who are class instructors. These instructors handle all the trainings for the year & conduct a 15-20 minute hands-on skills test for each trainee during the certification process.

If for some reason an employee or volunteer is unable to attend a CUSD training or would prefer to complete training elsewhere, he or she must receive training from an approved, hands-on program that covers all three areas of CPR, AED, and First Aid. Trainings that do not meet those qualifications can be deemed insufficient by the District. The cost of the non-CUSD CPR training is the responsibility of the individual obtaining the training.

Communication regarding scheduled classes for the year and how to request trainings/certifications is directed to all principals, school nurses, office mangers, and athletic directors at the start of each school year from the Risk Management Department. To confirm if an outside program is accepted by CUSD & for all other inquiries, please contact our Risk Management Specialist, Candace Boswell, via email at CBoswell@cusd.com.
