Description
The Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD), through its School Safety and Security Committee (SSSC), administers this noncompetitive program using the State School Safety and Security Grant Fund. It helps eligible nonpublic schools meet Pennsylvania School Code requirements to make CPR and automated external defibrillator (AED) instruction available on school premises at least once every two years for all employees and volunteers.
Funding supports instruction by approved providers or instructor training that enables a staff member to teach others at the school. Eligible supporting costs include training books and manuals, practice mannequins, practice AED units, and additional training hours worked by actively certified staff. The program funds CPR/AED instruction rather than AED purchases for operational use.
