The Board of Education has determined that it may enhance school safety to have an automatic external defibrillator (AED) placed in building(s) within the School District.

An AED is a medical device that interprets the cardiac rhythm of a person in cardiac arrest and, if appropriate, delivers an electrical shock to the heart intended to allow it to resume effective electrical activity.

The Board directs the Superintendent to develop guidelines that govern AEDs, including the use of the AED, placement of the AED, and training and oversight by a medical doctor or by the local EMS Medical Director. The Board also directs the Superintendent, in conjunction with the Medical Director, to review the guidelines, as appropriate.
