PVSD wellness committee advances medical response plan, cites AED grant requirements
Summary
Perkiomen Valley School District wellness committee moved to finalize a SMART goal to establish cardiac and medical response teams, reporting progress toward an AED grant requirement that 10% of building staff be CPR-certified and noting CHOP and Project Adam partnerships.
Perkiomen Valley School District committee members agreed to prioritize a medical response goal after staff reported progress toward grant criteria that require CPR certification and CERT drills across buildings.
The committee heard that about 20 additional staff were trained on Nov. 5, bringing the district closer to a target of 10% of building staff certified in acceptable CPR credentials, and that the district must complete certifications and two CERT drills by Jan. 31 to meet grant timelines. Speaker 2 said the district will partner with CHOP and use Project Adam templates to develop the required safety plans.
Members discussed tying the cardiac emergency response team into a broader two‑year build toward a districtwide medical emergency response team, and requested a concrete action plan documenting acceptable certifications, drill schedules and reporting timelines. Speaker 2 said Erin Dreisbach will lead follow-up work and that completion of related tasks is targeted for May 30.
The committee emphasized documenting current progress and returning with a clear implementation plan at a future meeting. No formal vote was taken; staff were directed to produce an action plan and confirm certification records.
