ILLINOIS SEIZURE SMART SCHOOL ACT: Public Act 101-005
Effective July 1, 2020, the Seizure Smart School Act requires all Illinois school personnel to be trained in seizure first aid. It also requires the development of a Seizure Action Plan for students with epilepsy on how to best care for students with the disorder. A student’s parents or guardians will share their healthcare provider’s instructions on managing the student’s epilepsy and include a copy of any prescriptions and how and when to administer those medicines.
There are several ISBE approved ways to complete the state-mandated Seizure First Aid training, please choose what is best for you:
Global Compliance Network
Ed Learners Network
