Surprise death of student-athlete has schools, parents working to save others
June 10, 2019
Schools in Pennsylvania are not required to have AEDs, according to Mary Newman, the executive director of the Pittsburgh-based nonprofit Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation. A state bill passed in 2014 requires school districts to report their amount, condition, age and placement of AEDs to the Pennsylvania Department of Education. Through the law, schools are able to use tax credits and grants to buy the defibrillators.
