Summary:
Through a partnership with Contra Costa County and American Medical Response ("AMR") the District has the opportunity to obtain Automated External Defibrillators ("AEDs") for many District sites. AMR will provide staff and volunteers training in the use and maintenance of these devices. AEDs are simple devices used for cardiopulmonary resuscitation that have been installed in public schools throughout the country and have saved many lives. Furthermore, Health and Safety Code section 1797.196 provides that a person or entity that acquires an AED is not liable for civil damages resulting from acts or omissions in rendering emergency care.

Staff has prepared revisions to the Board Policy and the Administrative Regulation to facilitate receipt, installation, training and availability of the AEDs in an expeditious manner. The revisions are consistent with CSBA sample policy.
