Fabens ISD earns Project ADAM Heart Safe School districtwide designation
Summary
El Paso Children’s Hospital’s Project ADAM and Fabens ISD recognized every campus for meeting heart-safe criteria; district leaders said AED access and trained responders could make the difference in cardiac events.
Fabens ISD and Project ADAM representatives on Aug. 19 recognized every campus in the district for completing Project ADAM’s heart-safe school steps, making Fabens ISD the first Heart Safe School District in the El Paso region.
Project ADAM’s representative told the board the program equips schools with AEDs, trained staff and emergency action plans. “When we make schools safe, we are helping to protect the entire community,” the Project ADAM coordinator said, urging continued training and equipment maintenance. The district called the designation a proactive effort to improve student and staff safety.
Superintendent Dr. Segovia and district nurses and staff joined principals and staff for photo recognitions. District staff said Project ADAM evaluated the district’s emergency-response teams, which include staff trained in CPR, first aid and traumatic injury response and a district-wide “code medical” protocol. Administrators said the program formalizes practices Fabens ISD has used for years and added outside validation.
The board thanked staff for their work preparing campuses, and the administration said it will continue training and maintain AED inventories to ensure schools remain ready to respond to cardiac emergencies.
