The latest school district to join our citizenAID community is Ocean Springs School District Mississippi.
Our partnership will provide medical training to every employee and equipment to every classroom in every school in the district, with more than 800 faculty and staff members to be trained across all seven schools.
Additionally, every classroom will have a Public Treatment Kit that can be used in an event like a lockdown that would prevent teachers or students from accessing trauma kits in the hallways. All staff members will also have the citizenAID app on their phones that guide them through emergency care and safety procedures.
Superintendent Dr. Bonita Coleman expressed her excitement:
“We are committed to the well being of our students and staff, and this partnership is a step toward a more safe and secure community. Empowering all of our staff with both knowledge and tools in case of emergencies will have a far-reaching impact, outside of the walls of our classrooms.”
