Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
In an October 2012 statewide electronic and phone survey to all WV public schools, the following information was obtained:
Schools with AEDS-----------------492
School without AEDs--------------173
Unable to obtain a response------65
The total of AEDs needed to completely cover all WV Public Schools (Elementary, Middle, High and Career & Technical Schools) would be approximately 238 AEDs @ $1610.00 average for a total of $383, 180.00 (includes pediatric and adult pads/key, wall mounting box, battery, CPR mask/gloves, carrying kit and wall signs). The cost to training through the RESA Public Service Training Centers for one school personnel per each 238 schools (238 personnel) without AEDs is about $35.00 per person for a total of $8, 330.00. Each school could arrange the CPR/AED training of school personnel to be completed on an ISE day to relieve the excessive cost of substitutes for approximately 238 school personnel.
The CPR/AED training would be needed to be renewed every 2 years for school personnel along with a battery replacement of the AED approximately every 4-5 years or when used in an emergency ($250.00) and replacement of electo-pads every 2 years or when used in an emergency ($100.00 for pediatric and $50.00 for adult). This cost would be incorporated into the school budget or county budget for Crisis Response Planning.
Note: This fiscal note does not include off-site PreK classrooms and institutional education facilities.
