Ken Slatz of the Savannah‑Chatham County Public School System said Landmark 24 Homes presented the district with three CPR in Schools training kits on behalf of the American Heart Association, adding short‑form hands‑on training resources to the district's safety tools.
District and program presenters said each kit can train roughly 20 to 30 students at a time and includes hands‑only CPR instruction, basic automated external defibrillator (AED) training and some first‑aid material. "It's amazing," one presenter said, noting the kits are teaching tools rather than formal certification.
Why it matters: Officials said the kits are intended both to teach students lifesaving skills and to create a ripple effect beyond classrooms—students can demonstrate techniques for family members and watch short online clips together. Ken Slatz said the three kits will be distributed to Garrison School for the Arts, Southwest Middle and Rice Creek School.
Background and scale: A presenter described a district cardiac initiative begun in 2023 that expanded its instructor base from seven to 10 people and has trained and certified more than 2,000 staff and faculty members, which staff said increases the district's capacity to teach students and run hands‑on practice sessions.
District officials framed the donation as complementary to existing training efforts rather than a replacement for formal CPR certification. One presenter clarified, "while these kits don't certify you in CPR, they do train you, and they teach you resources that you have," adding that short three‑minute videos are available for families to review at home.
The district did not announce any formal board action tied to the donation; representatives characterized it as an in‑kind contribution to the school system's training program. The schools named to receive kits were Garrison School for the Arts, Southwest Middle and Rice Creek School.
The district provided the details during the event; no vote or policy decision was recorded.
