District finalizes Cardiac Emergency Response Plan for state compliance
Summary
Administrators reviewed a written Cardiac Emergency Response Plan required by Jan. 1 that formalizes existing CPR/AED protocols, clarifies roles, and confirms four AEDs across district buildings and events.
Winfield School District 34 reviewed a formal Cardiac Emergency Response Plan required by the state to be finalized by Jan. 1. The plan documents existing practice: immediate action in cardiac events, including calling 911, beginning CPR, and retrieving an AED; it also clarifies that any on-site adult can act rather than waiting for administrators or the nurse.
The administration noted four AEDs are placed throughout district buildings and at athletic events, each carrying Narcan, and that coaches, administrators, office staff, and lunch supervisors are required to maintain CPR certification with annual reviews of procedures. The plan is intended to align written procedures with current practice and strengthen readiness for cardiac emergencies involving students or adults.
