A win for Virginia school safety! 🎉

Thanks to the tireless efforts of Senator Senator Aaron Rouse, Delegate Alex Q. Askew, the unanimous support of the General Assembly, and Governor Glenn Youngkin's signature, Cardiac Emergency Response Plans (CERPs) and Athletic Emergency Action Plans (EAPs) will soon be in our public schools.

We couldn't have done it without our amazing volunteers, advocates and youth ambassadors who lobbied the legislature and the Governor. Thank you for helping make our schools safer and more prepared for cardiac emergencies!
