Cannon County board approves creating a district athletic trainer position
Summary
Board members approved creation and posting of a new athletic trainer position after staff presented hiring and contracting options and estimated hiring would be less costly than contracting.
The Cannon County Board of Education voted to create a district athletic trainer position after staff presented options and a recommended course of action.
Staff told trustees they had collected job descriptions and an estimate showing hiring an individual would likely cost roughly $15,000 less than contracting with an outside company. Miss Julie (director) said funds could be moved to cover either a contracted service or a hire and that a new hire would have to be posted; she noted a candidate (Trevor) had already completed background checks and drug testing.
Board members discussed posting timelines and the 10-calendar-day posting rule. A board member made a motion to create the athletic trainer position and to authorize posting; the motion was seconded and carried on a roll call vote.
The board directed staff to post the new position and proceed with the hiring steps outlined at the meeting. No contracting agreement was approved at the meeting; staff said they would pursue the posting and follow background and drug-screening requirements for any finalist.
