Board approves athletic training services contract covering two schools; transcript uses both 'IAC' and 'IHC'
Summary
The board approved a contract with the district's athletic training provider (named in the meeting as both 'IAC' and 'IHC') with a total market value cited at $94,760 and district cash outlays of $18,009.52 per school; board members emphasized student safety and concussion protocol support.
The Wasatch County School Board approved a contract for athletic training services covering Deer Creek and Wasatch High School with the provider identified in the meeting as both "IAC" and "IHC." District staff said the program's market value is $94,760 and the district will make out‑of‑pocket payments of $18,009.52 per school, supplemented by in‑kind advertising and equipment donations.
Sean Kelly described the services as including sideline doctors at major football events, on‑site concussion testing and taping at practices, and general athlete care. He told the board the provider gives families a list of outside providers for follow-up care rather than steering students to a single clinic, which the district saw as a safeguard against conflicts of interest.
Board members praised the safety benefits. One member said the program removes the onus of concussion decisions from coaches and places it with medical experts. Kelly called the arrangement "a great value" and said the program's presence at events and practices is extensive.
The board approved the agreement by voice vote. The transcript contains inconsistent references to the provider's acronym (IAC vs. IHC); the district described the vendor as the company it has used previously and emphasized the program's safety and educational value.
