Re: Questions about a First Aid kit...

A good commercial kit is probably adequate. Remember you are doing only first aide as a rule. The people for more advance care will have their own stuff Depending of the school policy you might want to strip out the medications. Some schools control over the counter drugs.

As a supplement I would include CPR breathing barriers, extra gloves. a good set of EMT shears. Maybe extra bleeding control stuff. A eye wash bottle. A separate kit for common consumables like band aides.

The other part is training. CPR, well everybody should take CPR. A 16 hr wilderness first aide course is good as well. While not everything will be completely applicable, standard first aide as devolved to don't do anything and call 911.
