• CASD Teachers Participate in Safe Schools Training - First Aid, Hands Only CPR, and AED

    After the student early dismissal on September 20th, CASD teachers participated in a safe schools training. Joe Carl, Catasauqua Coordinator of Emergency Management presented "Until Help Arrives," a training which highlighted 5 essential life-saving actions that teachers can take in emergency situations. Following this presentation, Maria Wescoe, Northampton Regional EMS Director of Operations, and a team of paramedics modeled how to stop bleeding, perform hands-only CPR, and properly utilize the Automated External Defibrillator (AED). All teachers then had the opportunity to practice hands-only CPR and use the AED on the manikins while the paramedics provided additional support and feedback with regard to appropriate techniques/best practices.
