Stop the Bleed Kits

Northshore School District Bulk Purchase of Stop The Bleed Kits
Council PTSA E-Prep committee will be reaching out to each PTA/PTSA in the district to ask if they would like to participate in a one time buy to add additional Stop the Bleed Kits to their school. The recommended coverage is 1 per every classroom, but each PTA/PTSA could fund more or less than that amount. cost is $45.00/kit.

Each kit contains the following:

• High-quality C-A-T Tourniquet
• 1 x 6-inch Responder Emergency Trauma Dressing
• Two (2) packages of Compressed Gauze 
• Two (2) pairs of Nitrile Bear Claw Gloves
• Trauma Shears

Northshore Council PTSA is contributing $3500.00 to provide 2 of these kits per school to be located at the AEDs ensuring every school has a Stop the Bleed Kit. 

​In addition, Northshore School District (NSD), in partnership with Northshore Council PTSA E-Prep chairs, is offering a one-time bulk purchase of Stop the Bleed Kits to all PTAs/PTSAs. Each local PTA/PTSA can grant funds to their school by March 30th so that NSD can place orders for kits by April 30th. The E-Prep Committee is also requesting staff at each school attend a 1-hour A.C.T. Save a Life Training.
