A new state law aims to protect children by requiring schools to be prepared for cardiac emergencies. Schools are working to comply with the law by establishing Cardiac Emergency Response Teams. These teams are being trained to respond effectively in the event of a sudden cardiac emergency, with steps including calling 911 and using an automated external defibrillator.

The training involves drills to practice the response and identify areas for improvement. The goal is for team members to become comfortable with the techniques and urgency of the situation. Further details on the training and compliance efforts are available.
