AEDs for Schools & Educational Campuses
Protect students, staff, and visitors with a campus-wide AED program built for K-12 schools, universities, and school districts.
What Schools Need to Know About AEDs
Schools face unique challenges: large campuses, high-energy athletic programs, and diverse populations from young athletes to elderly visitors. A thoughtful AED program addresses all of it.
Athletic Facilities
Gyms, weight rooms, tracks, and sports fields are high-risk zones. Student athletes are at elevated risk for sudden cardiac arrest — an AED within 90 seconds of any athletic area is the standard of care.
Campus-Wide Coverage
Large campuses require multiple AEDs to meet the 3–5 minute response window. We map your campus and recommend placement for every building, hallway, and outdoor area.
Staff Training
Teachers, coaches, administrators, and custodial staff should all be trained. We coordinate AHA-certified CPR/AED courses that fit your school calendar.
Multi-Building Purchasing
School districts with multiple campuses benefit from standardized equipment and consolidated purchasing. One quote, one program, one point of contact.
Purchasing Process
We work with school district procurement offices, accept purchase orders, and can provide documentation for grant applications and state safety funding.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are schools required by law to have AEDs?
Requirements vary by state. Many states mandate AEDs in schools, particularly near athletic facilities. Life Pro AED can advise on your state's specific requirements.
How many AEDs does our school need?
OSHA and AHA guidelines recommend an AED within a 3–5 minute walk from any point in a facility. For most schools, this means at least one per building, with additional units near gyms and athletic fields.
Can students be trained to use an AED?
Yes. Many states encourage or require CPR/AED training for high school students. We offer age-appropriate courses that meet state curriculum standards.
What cabinet options work best for schools?
We recommend alarmed cabinets in hallways and unlocked cabinets in staff-only areas. Outdoor athletic areas benefit from weather-resistant enclosures.
Do you work with school district purchasing departments?
Yes. We accept purchase orders, provide W-9 documentation, and can assist with grant applications for safety equipment funding.
