The availability and use of airway clearance devices at public school campuses and to contracts for medication for respiratory distress and training at public schools

This bill requires public schools in Texas to have airway clearance devices available on campus. It also mandates that schools establish contracts for obtaining medication to treat respiratory distress and provide training for their use.

Supporters argue that this bill enhances student safety by ensuring that schools are equipped to handle respiratory emergencies effectively. By providing both devices and medication, along with proper training, schools can respond promptly to respiratory distress incidents, potentially saving lives.

Critics may argue that the bill imposes additional financial and logistical burdens on schools, which may already be struggling with limited resources. They might also express concerns about the effectiveness of such measures if not adequately funded or implemented.
