2.  Each school district shall require the school safety coordinators and other designated personnel, as necessary, to complete within one calendar year of being designated as a school safety coordinator, either:

(1)  (a)  The Federal Emergency Management Administration's (FEMA) IS-100.C: Introduction to the Incident Command System, ICS 100, or its successor course; and
