It was nice to read that the Williamsport Area School Board recently passed a resolution allowing high school students to take the Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) course with the Pennsylvania College of Technology as an elective.
I know other school districts participate with the collage for course work, hopefully they will follow suit and do the same.
This may go a long way with assisting local volunteer fire companies and ambulance services with staffing issues. As a life member of the volunteer fire service, I understand first hand how difficult it is in today's world to run these organizations short-handed. Who knows, this may even set a few of the students on a career path in the emergency services field.
Thank you Williamsport Area School Board for your forward thinking.
