Stop The Bleed Information.
Stop The Bleed Information.
Texas House Bill 496 requires school districts to annually offer instruction on the use of a bleeding control station from a school resource officer or other appropriate district or school personnel who has received the training, to students enrolled at the campus in grade 7 or higher.
The Texas Education Code (TEC), §38.030, as added by HB 496, 86th Texas Legislature, requires the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to approve training for the use of a bleeding control station in the event of an injury to another person.
Stop The Bleed™ training, developed by The American College of Surgeons (ACS) meets all requirements outlined in the statute. This optional training is offered in two parts for students:
Completion of the online, interactive course at: Stop the Bleed online course and print course completion certificate.
Followed by a hands-on skills portion with Nurse Stacy.
The high school campus will have an opportunity for interested students to access and complete the training during the school year. Stop The Bleed™ training is a valuable skill that can be used anywhere severe traumatic injuries occur. Please contact Nurse Stacy with any questions.
