Tracking of Portable Automated External Defibrillators (AED)

As of June 29, 2023, KRS​ 158.1621 requires school districts to report to the Kentucky Department of Education the number of portable automated external defibrillators (AED) at each school within the district. Using this information, KDE is required to publish a report on the number of AEDs in Kentucky public schools by school and school district to the department's website and submit the report to the General Assembly's Interim Joint Committee on Education, Interim Joint Committee on Health Services, and Interim Joint Committee on Families and Children by October 1 of each year. Guidance on how to enter this data into Infinite Campus can be found in the Health Data Standard.

​​​​**On March 17, 2020, Kentucky Schools were closed to in-person instruction due to Covid-19.  Most schools across the state did not resume in-person instruction until Fall, 2021.  During the Covid-19 pandemic, mass health screenings have not been recommended by the Kentucky Department of Public Health and the Kentucky Department of Education to help prevent the spread of Covid-19.  Therefore, student health data will reflect this recommendation.**

This school health infographic provides a snapshot of the number of chronic health conditions as well as the number of health office visits for the students in Kentucky's public schools during the 2022-23 school year.  This information is intended to be shared to promote the growing need for student school health services.
