Summary

Administrators told the board MPS has maintained AEDs and SERPs since 2019 and completed the annual review; board approved the SERPs required by April 2024 state legislation by voice vote.

The Midland Public Schools board unanimously approved the district's cardiac emergency response plans (SERPs) at its Jan. 20 meeting, a step administrators said is required by recent state legislation.

Kara told the board MPS "maintains a large inventory of automated external defibrillators throughout the district," including travel AEDs for athletics, and that units are regularly inspected. She said the April 2024 state law requires comprehensive SERPs in all public schools, including annual review and designated responders who hold first‑aid, CPR and AED certifications. Kara added that MPS implemented SERPs in December 2019 and had completed the annual review for the current school year; the formal approval in a public meeting documents district compliance.

After a motion to approve, the board recorded a series of "ayes" and adopted the plans by voice vote. The SERPs will be retained in the office of the associate superintendent of student services and human resources and are available for board review by request.
