EMT tries to save life, gets suspended
"Speaking on behalf of the teachers and staff of P.S. 250," Principal RoseAnn LaCioppa wrote in a letter to parents of the school, "I want to reassure you that our school personnel has been trained in response to emergencies and we will always follow all protocols and procedures to ensure the safety of all our students."
The site said neither LaCioppia nor Assist Ambulance have returned calls for comment.
In a statement, the Department of Education told NY1: "We believe the principal and faculty responded swiftly to the emergency, notifying 911 and the student's family immediately."
I would bet you anything their policy is to call 911 and not lay a finger on the student for fear they'd be sued. So they sit and watch this child die while pretending this policy is in her best interest, and not theirs.
If I was the family I'd ask "How many of your teachers are trained on the Heimlich maneuver and how many were attempting to save our daughter using it?"

Sweet. "Responding to an emergency" = "telling someone else an emergency is happening." Sure, that's technically a response, albeit one that sounds like you memorized it off a cheat sheet boilerplate given to you by your lawyers.
