National Campus Safety Awareness Month - Stop the Bleed

As we continue through National Campus Safety Awareness Month, and with the Illinois Terrorism Task Force's emphasis on Stop the Bleed training and kits in K-12 schools, we would like to direct you to the Illinois School and Campus Safety Resource Center's webpage on Stop the Bleed resources . According to the Ready Illinois website , "STOP the Bleed is a national campaign intended to train, equip and empower bystanders to help in a bleeding emergency before professional help arrives."

ITTF Promotes Statewide K-12 Stop the Bleed Training, Kit Distribution

As mentioned in the previous article, the Illinois Terrorism Task Force has put significant emphasis on Stop the Bleed training and kits for K-12 schools. According to the Ready Illinois website, "following the recommendations of the School Safety Working Group, more than 7,000 STOP the Bleed kits have been distributed to schools in Illinois ahead of the 2019-2020 school year." Additionally, "each school district is being asked to train a minimum of five teachers/staff in each building where children attend school. Upon completion of this training, the Illinois Terrorism Task Force, via the Regional Offices of Education, will distribute an additional five kits to the school."
