                    ``(B) individuals providing such instruction and

                    ``(C) to the extent practicable, each student at a 
                secondary school under the control or direction of such 
                agency has been trained to provide cardiopulmonary 
                resuscitation and first aid as a result of

                after appropriate training, may act as instructors.
    ``(d) Report.--The Secretary may provide a grant to a local 
educational agency under subsection (a) only if such agency agrees to 
submit to the Secretary a report containing--
            ``(1) a description and evaluation of the program 
        established by such agency under subsection (c), including the 
        number of students and teachers who have successfully completed 
        a course of instruction such as the curriculum of the American 
        Red Cross, National Safety Council, or the American Heart 
        Association to provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation and first 
        aid under such program; and
            ``(2) any other information as the Secretary may reasonably
