We've had a student death also

Published

Not at my school, but one of the high schools in our district (Student was a junior). I don't know the details, but I know our nurses responded and performed CPR and used the AED. Student was intubated by EMS but did not make it. I do not know if the student had a preexisting condition.

My heart is so heavy for this family and everyone touched by this. I know our nurses are in agony. I cannot imagine the pain they are all feeling.
