Our district and campus personnel engage in medical emergency response team drills throughout the academic year to equip them with the skills needed for an effective response to medical emergencies.
Earlier this week, the Mercedes ISD Medical Emergency Response Team conducted a comprehensive drill at the Mercedes Early College Academy. This simulation provided a valuable opportunity for staff to review and evaluate response procedures in the context of emergency scenarios. This ongoing commitment to preparedness ensures a prompt and coordinated response when faced with critical situations.
The drill, overseen by District Nurse Veronica Bustamante, RN, had the participation of MECA Principal Ramon Mejia, MECA nurse Judy Hernandez, LVN, Department of Safe Schools staff, and included a teacher and student. We appreciate all involved in keeping our students and staff safe each day and appreciate the support of parents and community members! #MISDpride #MISDhealthservices
