Do any of you in elementary have an AED? Where do you keep it?
Thank you.

I do... it's mounted on the wall just as you walk in the front doors of the school. Just so happens it is 10 steps from the clinic, but is centrally located!!

We just got one for each of our schools. They are all by the gym.

the elementary school I worked in had it centrally located. I'm in a middle school now and have one near the gym -actually located in the cafeteria and i had one installed (brought over from my former elementary school, which closed and merged with another school in district) in the lower level of my bi-level school.

Mine is mounted behind the secretary's desk in the main office. My office is adjacent to the main office, so it is easily accessible if needed.

We have one mounted just outside of the nursing clinic and one mounted in the gym (it is in a separate building).

Our district got a grant that allowed for the purchase of AED's for all our buildings. They are placed inside the front door in the hallway, accessible at all times there are people in the building.

We have an AED in all 4 schools. They are mounted on the wall in the office, very near the doors.
