Medical Emergency Response Plan
In the spring of 2012, the Legislature passed and Governor Patrick signed into law, An Act Relative to Medical Emergency Response Plans for Schools, Chapter 77 of the Acts of 2012 (Medical Emergency Law). The full text of the law is in Appendix 3. The Act amended Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 69 by adding Section 8A.
Under the law, every school committee must ensure that every school under its jurisdiction has a written Medical Emergency Response Plan. The purpose of the Medical Emergency Response Plan is to reduce the incidence of life-threatening emergencies, and to promote efficient response to such emergencies. Read the APS/AB District 2012-2013 Medical Emergency Response Plan. Additional information, including questions and suggestions, can be addressed by contacting MERP@doe.mass.edu.
