Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
In an February 2015 a statewide phone survey was conducted to WV public schools who indicated they did not have an AED from past
electronic and phone surveys, the following information was obtained:
Schools with AEDS-----------------515
School without AEDs--------------148
Unable to obtain a response------48
The total of AEDs needed to completely cover all WV Public Schools (Elementary, Middle, High and Career & Technical Schools) would be approximately 196 AEDs @ $1610.00 average for a total of $315, 560.00 (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 196 schools (196 personnel) without AEDs is about $35.00 per person for a total of $6, 860.00. 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 196 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 electro-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, alternative education facilities and institutional education facilities.
