The Rogue River School District has announced that 100% of its regular staff are now trained in CPR, First Aid and AED usage. It's a dramatic step forward for student and staff safety and wellness.
School officials said this accomplishment underscores the district's commitment to protecting its students and staff.
Officials said the decision to ensure every staff member is certified in CPR, First Aid and AED usage stems from a proactive approach to health and safety within the school environment. They said having trained personnel ready to respond to unexpected emergencies can make a significant difference in critical situations.
This significant milestone was made possible through the collaborative efforts of the Rogue River School Board of Directors, the district's Superintendent, Human Resources Assistant and staff leadership. Their shared commitment to fostering a culture of safety and support has been instrumental in implementing this training initiative.
The Rogue River School Board played a key role in prioritizing health and safety as a fundamental aspect of the district's mission. Their strategic planning and allocation of resources ensured the training became an integral part of staff development.
Special recognition should be given to Human Resources Assistant Pam Weaver who tracked and monitored all certifications and coordinated the logistics of the training sessions, ensuring that every staff member had the opportunity to receive certification.
