Thanks to TREA and NREA representatives (students and leaders), including superintendent Bill Chapman and FFA leaders from London ISD, who went to D.C. and enlightened Congress on the importance of this legislation.
As a former superintendent and first responder, I would encourage all schools to train as many of your staff and students as possible, in first aid, CPR, and the use of AED. It will save lives.
