After delayed ambulance, district orders emergency cabinets and staff training
Summary
Superintendent Nicholas Colosi described a knife found on a bus and a medical emergency that took about 40 minutes for an ambulance to reach; the district has installed emergency medical cabinets in main offices and will provide staff CPI and mandated-reporter trainings.
Superintendent Nicholas A. Colosi told the board the district's safety and crisis teams met after two recent incidents: a knife discovered on a bus and a medical emergency at the high school campus. He said it took roughly 40 minutes for an ambulance to arrive for the medical incident and the delay prompted immediate steps to improve on-site emergency response.
Colosi said the district has installed emergency medical cabinets in each main office so life-saving supplies are available even if a nurse is not present, and that staff trainings on mandated reporting and CPI de-escalation will be scheduled (including offering mandated-reporter training on March 14). He also addressed staff concerns about liability for assisting during an emergency, saying employees are covered under the Good Samaritan Law.
