Stop the Bleed CPR Class

 

STB

 

  • Texas House Bill 496 Sec. 38.030 requires that each school district implements a Traumatic Injury Response Protocol for use in the event of a traumatic injury involving blood loss.
  • The bill requires that bleeding control stations are stored in easily accessible areas throughout the school and that training is provided to all employees and offered to students.
  • No matter how rapid the arrival of emergency responders, bystanders will always be first on the scene of trauma.
  • A person who is bleeding can die from blood loss in 3–5 minutes, therefore it is important to quickly stop the blood loss.
  • “Stop the Bleed” is a nationwide campaign to empower individuals to act quickly and save lives.

The campaign originated from a surgeon who looked at the autopsy reports of the students at Sandy Hook Elementary School and determined that many of the fatalities were preventable if bleeding control had been provided sooner.

Midland Academy Charter School is offering parents the option for their 7th and 8th grade students to receive training along with training for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR).

 

Opioid Poisoning Awareness, Fentanyl Abuse, and Narcan Training

House Bill 3908, also known as Tucker’s Law, is a law passed during the 88th legislative session, which mandates education on drug poisoning awareness and fentanyl abuse prevention in public schools across Texas. Tucker’s Law also required the State Governor to designate a “Fentanyl Poisoning Awareness Week” in Texas, the first of which was held October 15 through October 21, 2023.

Tucker’s Law passed the House of Representatives on May 9, 2023. Governor Greg Abbott signed the Bill into law on June 14, 2023. Tucker’s Law and the Tucker Project are named in honor of Tucker Charles Roe (Mar. 11 2002 – Sep. 23, 2021), the son of TXAF.org Founder Stefanie Turner. 

Naloxone is a life-saving medication that can reverse an overdose from opioids—including heroin, fentanyl, and prescription opioid medications—when given in time.

Midland Academy Charter School is offers parents the option for their 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students to receive education on drug poisoning awareness, fentanyl abuse prevention, and naloxone training.
