EB Stanley moves forward with Project ADAM cardiac preparedness; district to consider expansion
Summary
A school‑level Project ADAM program — training staff and ensuring AEDs are within a three‑minute reach — is operating at EB Stanley Elementary and the district is exploring expanding the program to other schools, board members said.
Board member reports highlighted EB Stanley Elementary’s work to join Project ADAM, a school health initiative that emphasizes cardiac preparedness, training and timely access to automated external defibrillators (AEDs).
Board members described Project ADAM as a program ensuring an AED is obtainable within three minutes of any point in a school and included staff training exercises to prepare for cardiac events. The work grew from conversations with a family whose student has cardiac needs; EB Stanley staff organized training and coordination with the school community.
Board members said the district is looking at other schools for similar adoption and praised the principal and staff who organized the effort. No districtwide mandate or new funding was announced; board members said they will evaluate expanding Project ADAM to additional schools.
