CPR, First Aid, and AED

There are four Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) in the schoolbuildings. Defibrillators administer an electric shock for people suffering a cardiac arrest, and are used in conjunction with CPR. Defibrillators are required in public places, and the school has purchased them to increase safety for the BFS community.

The units are installed in the following locations:
  • 55 Willoughby- 2nd floor between the elevator and display case
  • 375 Pearl Lower Gym- wall opposite elevators
  • 375 Pearl Upper Gym- north stairwell, wall between gym and playground doors
  • 375 Pearl 2nd Floor- Corridor wall leading to conference room and psychologists' offices
Please Note: The cases which hold the units are alarmed, and will sound a shrill alarm for 30 seconds after the door is opened.

  • Mary Ellen Ostrander, R.N., School Nurse
