The Heartshock had the lowest bid for a defibrillator with pedi pads included, essential for delivering heart shocks to a child. The Zoll Heartshock also includes features to serve audio-visually impaired students, which district officials said distinguished this model from its competitors.

The contract extends through five years, and includes staff training on the use of the AED and training on maintenance by staff.

Texas schools are required to have AEDs installed by August 07 to be in compliance with Senate Bill 580.

Hunt Petroleum representative Jonathan Williams appeared before the Dallas ISD board at Thursday night's meeting to announce the company's donation of 20 defibrillators to the district, and challenged other local businesses to do the same and save the district the expense of this unfunded mandate.
