Summary
The Senate recognized four staff members from Natomas Pacific Pathways Prep whose CPR sustained a colleague following an on-site cardiac event; senators praised recent CPR training that enabled the response.
The California State Senate honored four staff members from Natomas Pacific Pathways Prep (NP3) for performing life-saving CPR on a colleague who suffered a cardiac event at school.
Senator Ashby, speaking at the majority leader's desk, introduced NP3 staff and said: "Their quick actions saved her life." He identified the four as Teresa (the school nurse), Marcy (the principal), Sean (vice principal and safety director) and Christie (the school secretary) and noted the rescue followed recent CPR training.
Why it matters: The staff performed roughly eight minutes of CPR until first responders arrived, and hospital and first-responder accounts on the floor confirmed that their timely response saved the colleague, who was identified as Carly Hull Shively and who was present in the gallery.
Senators on the floor highlighted the importance of CPR training for educators and first responders. Senator Nilo said, "If you know CPR, you truly can save a life," and the chamber joined in recognition of the NP3 staff.
Ending: The Senate welcomed the NP3 team to the gallery and asked members to join in honoring their actions as an example of training saving a life.
