(Sacramento) – Assemblymember Freddie Rodriguez (D-Ponoma) was joined by Debbie Wilson, mother of 17 year old Morgan who died from cardiac arrest, for the Assembly Education Committee’s vote on Assembly Bill 1719, legislation to insure high school students learn CPR before they graduate. Wilson told the Committee her daughter would likely have survived if the other students around her when she collapsed at a tennis camp had known CPR, “I’m here as a Mom. I’m here for Morgan. I’m here to save lives.” “CPR is one of the most important life skills a person can have,” said Assemblymember Rodriguez. “By teaching CPR in high school, we are sending students into the world with essential, life-saving skills.” Under AB 1719, school districts would be required to teach hands-only CPR in any required high school course, such as P.E. or Health.
