Policy 507.08

Defibrillators

The Board recognizes that from time to time emergencies may arise that justify the use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). The district will maintain automatic external defibrillator(s) at specified site(s). The AED shall be used in emergency situations warranting its use by district employees specifically trained in application of the device through a program meeting the standards of the American Heart Association. The device will not be administered by anyone without training.

The defibrillator shall be maintained and tested in accordance with operational guidelines of the manufacturer and monitored by building principal or designee.

It shall be the responsibility of the superintendent, in conjunction with the building principal, to develop administrative regulations regarding this policy.
