Frequently Asked Questions

Why Have a First Aid Kit in Every School Classroom?

Examples of why it is important:

School lockdown — no one in or out of the school or classrooms; school violence situations
Multiple students and faculty were injured. This can happen in a natural or man-caused disaster. A single first aid kit in the office can’t help everyone at the same time. Immediate access to life-saving medical supplies is critical.
With some medical emergencies, it could be hours before first responders can arrive---having a first aid kit in every classroom could save lives!

If Having a First Aid Kit in a Classroom is So Important--Why Don't Most Schools Provide One?

Schools would agree that having first aid kits throughout the school would be ideal; unfortunately, they are budget-constrained and simply can’t afford to place one in each classroom. This is where kit2classroom.org and you come in.
