Burleson ISD is recognized as a Project ADAM Texas Heart Safe School District—1 of only 22 school districts in the state to achieve this designation through the Project ADAM program at Cook Children’s. 

As a Heart Safe School District, BISD schools complete training for all staff on sudden cardiac death, including warning signs, recognition, communication procedures, and other staff roles. Campuses also participate in annual cardiac emergency response or AED drills, an important exercise that helps measure preparedness and strengthens a school’s planned and practiced response. BISD will also conduct annual education training.  

Each school in BISD has an Emergency Response team and a plan in the event of a Sudden Cardiac Arrest. 

Cook Children’s recognized each school in the BISD for achieving Heart Safe School designation in the Project ADAM program at Cook Children’s.
