Classrooms Receive Trauma Bags

HUNTINGDON (January 28) — The Carroll County Commission recently donated $50,000 worth of trauma kits/bags to the school systems within the county. 300 bags were purchased from JC Educational and Office Supply. The bags are more than just first aid bags as they were designed for critical first aid. Along with basic first aid items and burn care packs, each pack has items to aid in bleeding control if an individual needs care following a shooting or stabbing.

Mayor Joseph Butler stated that there are approximately 400 classrooms in Carroll County including those at the County’s Vocational School. While every classroom will not receive a grab-and-go trauma pack it will help the schools by helping offset the cost.

The seven school directors were on hand to receive the backpacks.
