Stop the Bleed
Stop the Bleed Student Training
Texas House Bill 496 Sec. 38.030 requires school districts to implement a Traumatic Injury Response Protocol in the event of a traumatic injury involving blood loss. The bill requires bleeding control kits to be stored in easily accessible areas throughout the district, with training provided to employees. Additionally, the bill also asks districts to offer optional training to students in grades 7-12 to empower students to take an active role in their medical safety.
"Stop the Bleed" training, developed by the American College of Surgeons (ACS), is offered in two parts for students: 1) an online course with a quiz which is then followed by 2) a hands-on course students will take at their school.

Hands-on training will be held in the MHS Clinic Room 116
