Some of the questions raised after 14-year-old Landon Payton suffered a medical emergency at Marshall Middle School last week and later died, were whether the school has an AED, whether it was working, and whether the personnel on hand knew how to use it.
At a brief press conference Monday, HISD Chief of Public Affairs and Communications Alex Elizondo refused to answer any specific questions about Landon's case, saying it was out of respect for the family's privacy and citing possible litigation. In most cases the AEDS that are not working need new batteries. Elizondo said parts have been ordered and all AEDs will be re-inspected before the end of August.
A change sparked by Landon's death is that the oversight on this equipment will move to Central Office personnel. It had been the responsibility of principals and"work location supervisors."
