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 heart monitor and defibrillator that:

A. is capable of recognizing the presence or absence of ventricular fibrillation or rapid ventricular tachycardia and determining without intervention by an operator, whether defibrillation should be performed;

B. charges and, at the command of the operator, delivers an electrical impulse to an individual’s heart.

The Board directs the District Administrator to develop guidelines that govern AEDs, including the use of the AED, and placement of the AED. The Board also directs the District Administrator, in conjunction with the School Nurse, to review the guidelines, as appropriate. The AED device(s) will be located in the building for use by individuals with proper AED training.
