AED GRANT AVAILABLE

A new Grant has been made available by the state of Ohio for your schools to receive FREE AEDs, or Automated External Defibrillators. Simply log on to www.ohioschoolaedprogram.com to learn more about how you can save your district tens of thousands of dollars by receiving these devices through the state. As you may be aware, there was a Grant made available a year or so ago whereby 2,263 schools in Ohio received FREE AEDs. During the first year of this program, 5 lives were saved which prompted the Ohio General Assembly to allocate additional funding to place more devices in Ohio schools. Please take a moment to log on to the site and register your email address so that you can be kept updated on the status.

Even if you already have AEDs, this round of funding enables you to receive additional AEDs for each of your schools.
