The Board of Education has determined that it may enhance school safety to have an automated 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 Superintendent is authorized to develop guidelines that govern AEDs, including the use of the AED, placement of the AED, and training in the use of the AED.
