The law requires that a school board have an AED in each school in its jurisdiction – if funding is available. It also allows school boards to accept gifts, donations and grants to pay for the equipment and training.

“Beginning July 1, the law will help ensure that every school has an AED on site. They are proven life-saving devices but only if they are accessible.” – Gov. M. Jodi Rell
