Summary

Following the departure of longtime trainer Josh King, the Portsmouth School Committee approved a contract to hire Zoe Laferrier as the district athletic trainer, voting unanimously 7-0.

The Portsmouth School Committee on July 17 approved a contract to hire Zoe Laferrier as the district’s athletic trainer after the previous trainer, Josh King, accepted a position in another district. The committee recorded the vote as unanimous, 7-0.

District staff told the committee that King, who had served as the schools’ trainer for many years, informed the district he had taken a job in a district closer to home following a contract renewal approved at the end of the school year. The district advertised the vacancy and, after a selection process, identified Laferrier as an “excellent candidate” and recommended approval of a contract to secure her services ahead of summer and fall sports.

No contract amount or term was stated during the public discussion. The committee approved the motion for the contract renewal/award by unanimous vote.
