ACBA-AP: Automated External Defibrillators

The Superintendent shall develop regulations to maintain, test and implement the use of AEDs in the West Fargo Public Schools in accordance with NDCC 32-03.1-02.3.  The regulations shall include a requirement that in the vent of a cardiac arrest emergency, a district responder shall contact an emergency medical service provider as soon as possible.  A copy of these regulations shall be kept in the AED cabinet. 

The authorization of AEDs in district schools shall not be deemed to create a guarantee or obligation to use the AED in the case of an emergency nor any expectation that an AED or trained employee will be present, able to use an AED in an emergency or any expectation that the AED will operate properly.

Training

Members of the Building Emergency Response Team, select office staff and other staff selected by the building principal shall be trained on AED use and cardiopulmonary resuscitation.  The frequency of recurrent training will be required in accordance with criteria established by the issuing organization of each employee’s certification.  Unless unavailable in the event of cardiac arrest, only personnel trained and qualified in accordance with law shall operate the AED unit.
