B.C. education minister Lisa Beare supports having defibrillators in schools.

Vancouver school board has refused to embrace devices to reverse cardiac arrests.

Beare says she's investigating how many districts have AEDs and the possibility of a provincial directive’ that they be adopted everywhere.

Vancouver students will make a second attempt to convince school trustees during the board’s budget negotiations in January .

Students for AEDs wrote to Beare and Eby earlier this month to request a meeting.

Zhang said the sounds of his friend’s final gasping breaths and “the cries of his parents still haunt me to this day ” Zhang insisted the provincial guidelines followed by the Vancouver district, to provide a personal AED to some students but not an entire school, does nothing to help people like his friend who had not been screened for a heart condition.
