Mission, Texas - The Risk Management Department of Mission Consolidated Independent School District (CISD) has been honored by the TASB Risk Management Fund for their efforts in developing innovative and effective solutions to risk management challenges.
The award honors initiatives to promote emotional wellness through Campus Wellness Rooms. The rooms are equipped with fitness equipment, weight scales, and blood pressure monitors, as well as cookware to encourage healthy eating.
“As a part of our ongoing improvement processes, we wanted to find a way to provide more support for employees as we try to focus on our overall well-being,” explained Dr. Carol G. Perez. The rooms are designed to support not just physical wellness, but also emotional wellness. It has been exciting to see the wellness rooms have sparked some positive changes.”
“The Risk Management Department really took the idea and ran with it,” said Dr. Perez. “They worked with all our campuses and main departments to implement wellness rooms. In some cases, the campus leadership provided additional items, so they meet some of the specific needs and goals of the campus.”
The annual award program is designed to showcase members of the TASB Risk Management Fund, which includes more than 1,000 Texas public school districts, community colleges, education service centers, and other education entities collaborating to share risk and protect resources.
"I am extremely proud of the solutions and initiatives the Risk Management Department have developed to address the challenges that our school district faces. This year has been a reflection of the ongoing commitment to our employees and we’re celebrating the work we’ve done and will continue to do.” said Dr. Perez.
