CPR Training/AEDs
Eanes ISD has been one of the most aggressive school districts in the state in the areas of availability of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) and APR training.
AEDs are located on every campus, as well as other central administrative locations. At schools, AEDs generally are found near the front office, nurses clinics, as well as other strategic locations depending on the size and layout of the school. Secondary schools have both mobile and permanent units that service athletics. Please see EISD's AED Plan for more details.
In fall of 2006 Superintendent Nola Wellman established the bold goal of having all Eanes ISD teachers and staff members become trained in CPR. The district set up a "train the trainer" program, where approximately 20 employees volunteered to learn to be CPR instructors. These individuals began teaching district-wide classes in which employees participated. The percentage of EISD staff who have been trained is just over 90 percent (due to turnover and scheduling), but courses continue to be offered to reach employees. The district's School Safefy and Health Advisory Council also hosts an annual event that encourages community members to become CPR-certified and provides the "CPR Anytime" training.
