Committee approves athletic-trainer/EMT agreement; authorizes Hawks Nest to support activities and funds temporary family-liaison position
Summary
The committee approved a memorandum of agreement with the teachers’ union covering an athletic trainer and an athletic EMT position and stipend; it also authorized the high-school Hawks Nest school store to support other student activities, and approved a short-term family/parent liaison post funded by a grant through June.
The Barnstable School Committee on Feb. 5 approved multiple personnel and student-activity items: a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with the teachers’ union covering the athletic trainer and a newly described athletic EMT role, authorization for the Hawks Nest high-school store to allocate funds to other student activities at the principal’s discretion, and a grant-funded family/parent liaison position for the district’s family and community engagement center through the end of the school year.
Athletic trainer and EMT: After an executive-session negotiation update, the committee approved a memorandum of agreement with the Barnstable Teachers Association that documents duties and compensation for athletic medical coverage. The committee then approved the athletic EMT position and stipend. Committee members voted unanimously on both items.
Hawks Nest school store: The committee voted to allow the Hawks Nest school-store student-activity account to financially support other Barnstable High School student activities based on the advisor’s recommendation and principal approval. The motion passed unanimously.
Family/parent liaison position: The superintendent said the district has grant funding to add a family/parent liaison to the family and community engagement center for February–June 2025; the committee approved that temporary position unanimously.
Why it matters: The MOA and EMT approval provide formalized medical coverage for athletic events and define a stipended role to support student-athlete safety; Hawks Nest authorization clarifies accounting treatment for student-activity proceeds; the liaison position expands family-engagement capacity with grant support.
Ending: All items passed unanimously and will be implemented by administration with follow-up reporting to the committee as required.
