Student Eagle Scout installs 17 "Stop the Bleed" kits across district
Summary
Allison Morris, a junior and Eagle Scout candidate, told the board she raised funds to buy and place 17 bleeding-control kits districtwide, trained staff on March 13, and urged broader training so responders can find and use the kits in emergencies.
Allison Morris, a junior at Canyon Academy and an Eagle Scout candidate, told the board she used fundraising and donations to purchase and install 17 "Stop the Bleed" bleeding-control kits around district schools.
"My name is Allison Morris. I'm a junior here at Canyon Academy and an Eagle Scout candidate," she said, then described coordinating with district staff and arranging a March 13 training. She said the kits were placed with AED cabinets and that three school employees received training on March 13; she urged the district to expand training to additional staff and consider student instruction or athletic staff training.
Morris argued the kits are useful beyond active-shooter scenarios — citing sports and shop accidents — and said the equipment is durable and can be maintained alongside AED inspections. Board members thanked Morris for the project and for raising community awareness of emergency preparedness.
The presentation did not include an exact installation date for all kits; Morris asked the board to support broader staff and student training so that the kits are accessible and usable districtwide.
