MI HEARTSAFE SCHOOLS CPR CERTIFICATION MI HEARTSafe School certification shows that schools have met standards to protect students and staff by rapidly responding to a cardiac arrest. Becoming a MI HEARTSafe school prepares Hazel Park Schools to better handle cardiac arrest emergencies at school and during after-school activities. Hazel Park Schools has a cardiac emergency response plan in place, which is one requirement in becoming a MI HEARTSafe school. Our goal is to have each building in Hazel Park Schools become a MI HEARTSafe School over the next few years.

We will also embed a discussion on Least Restrictive Environment as well as transition planning. Any new processes and procedures will be discussed during this training session as well.
MANIFESTATION DETERMINATION REVIEW This voluntary training will equip special education providers with the knowledge and tools to conduct a thorough manifestation determination review when legally justified by a student's disciplinary measures. Providers will learn the law around MDR's; the process; timelines; and circumstances under which they would conduct an MDR. We will look at the "why" of an MDR as well as the special circumstances law.
BEHAVIORAL STRATEGIES This voluntary training will provide a rich discussion on student behaviors in our schools today. It will provide strategies and suggestions for managing these difficult challenges. An in-depth, and engaging discussion will be at the forefront as we openly discuss situations staff are encountering and ways in which to successfully address and manage.
