In accordance with Kansas Statute 72-6288, every school is mandated to have a Cardiac Emergency Response Plan (CERP) in place. This initiative has been established at all school levels, spearheaded by the leadership of the Nurse. The primary goal is to ensure rapid and effective response to any cardiac event, thereby safeguarding the health and well-being of students and staff. The team members involved in the response plan are either already certified or scheduled to receive certification by next August. This training is pivotal, ensuring that all team members are equipped with the necessary skills to handle cardiac emergencies effectively. PLHS and PES are working toward obtaining "Project Adam" Designation for the schools April/May and LES and PLMS will strive to become designated at the start of next school year.

Unfortunately, the Grant for in school illness testing has been suspended, effective immediately. The School Nurse is no longer able to get supplies. We can test until supply level is gone or until 9/30/25, whichever comes first. We have around 200 COVID/Flu A/Flu B tests, 20 RSV tests remaining. Very sorry we are no longer able to provide this amazing service to our community.
