City officials are squarely behind a proposal to add lifesaving techniques as a graduation requirement.
Farmington and Farmington Hills officials have passed resolutions that support adding cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillator (AED) training as a requirement for Farmington Public Schools high school graduates. Advocates say the training would require only a few hours of class time, particularly with the new "hands-only" techniques promoted by the American Red Cross. Hills city council member Ken Massey said in communities where these techniques are required of all high school graduates, survival rates for those who suffer heart attacks outside of a hospital have more than doubled. But this coursework would require an investment of money and time – two things in short supply in Farmington Schools. According…

Despite financial concerns over new mandates, officials say the lifesaving course is needed.
The Farmington City Council Monday night moved the community one step closer to having virtually all high school graduates trained in lifesaving skills. Officials unanimously passed a resolution that recognizes the importance of education in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and use of automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) as a requirement for high school graduation. Farmington Hills officials have already passed a similar measure. While it stops short of demanding Farmington Public Schools officials implement the class, the resolution affirms that the requirement would "increase the overall safety of all those who reside in or visit our community." Farmington Hills Councilman Ken Massey, who has spearheaded the effort to get both …

Worth the investment?! This is an absolute no brainer. Even without the support of Botsford and the departments of public safety, what value do you put on the life of the first person that survives cardiac arrest due to the assistance of one of our students/former students? The IB program specifies ACTION; what more valuable action could someone take than to save the life of another? The … more ›
