    Athletic Coaching Certification Rule Change
    One of the requirements for the athletic coaching endorsement and the stand alone athletic
    coaching certificate is a valid completion certificate or card in cardiopulmonary resuscitation
    (CPR) training. The State Board of Education has approved an amendment to Rule 6A-4.0282,
    FAC. to allow acceptance of a CPR certificate or card issued by an entity approved by the
    Florida Department of Health pursuant to their Rule 64E-2.038, FAC. This is in addition to a
    certificate or card issued by the American Red Cross and the American Heart Association. You
    may access information and view the approved Department of Health equivalent CPR training
    entities at http://www.doh.state.fl.us/demo/ems/TrainTest/CPRACLS9-27-07.pdf. The text of the
    amended rule is attached.
