As the school year begins, there are serious concerns about student safety in the Houston Independent School District (HISD) due to malfunctioning defibrillators. Jackie Anderson, president of the Houston Federation of Teachers, reported that defibrillators at several HISD schools, including Marshall Middle School, have failed. This issue was highlighted by a recent incident where a student at Marshall Middle collapsed and died after the defibrillator was unable to function. Nurses have made repeated requests for necessary maintenance and supplies, which have been denied due to financial constraints.
