The Bronxville School is requesting grant funds be provided to place more Automated External

available within 2 minutes of any place in the school. Currently, there are not enough AEDs in
the school, which is a safety issue.

cardiac arrest.

III. Briefly discuss if your project objectives tie in with initiatives or goals in your
department or the District (e.g., What makes a Bronxville education distinctive?)
One of the main goals of placing more AEDs in the school is to create a safe environment. The
Bronxville Promise states that we should, “engage in the world around you and make it a better
place.” This part of the promise ties in with the objectives of this project because the Athletic
Department wants to make the Bronxville School a safer community for all, therefore making it a
better place.
