WHITMORE LAKE, Mich., Oct. 14, 2024 — State Rep. Sharon (D-Ann Arbor) presented a new automated external defibrillator (AED) to Troy High School last week. Legislation signed this year requires schools to maintain AEDs and ensure they are accessible within one to three minutes during a cardiac emergency. In celebration of the new law, the NFL donated 50 AEDs for Michigan legislators to distribute to schools in their districts. MacDonell issued the following statement after presenting the AED:
“The safety and security of our students, teachers, staff, and those just visiting the school for an event is a top priority of mine. I’m happy to have delivered this lifesaving device to Troy High School, my daughters’ alma mater. Should the need for this device ever arise, it will be here, ready for use.”
