Board hears proposal to partner with hospitals for athletic trainer coverage at high‑school events
Summary
District leaders discussed a proposal to coordinate athletic‑trainer or medical coverage for high‑school games and some practices through local hospitals and a third party, aiming for targeted coverage at no cost to the district.
The board discussed early planning to provide athletic trainer and medical coverage at high‑school athletic events. Trevor (speaker S7) said the district was approached by IEC and has held follow‑up meetings with hospitals to develop schedules for games and some practices.
Trevor described the plan as a work in progress: organizers want to cover game schedules, including dedicated coverage at home games for Manti and Gunnison, while coordinating with multiple hospitals so coverage does not ‘‘step on toes.’’ He emphasized the district’s goal of securing coverage at no cost to the district and said the team will work with hospitals to design a schedule that serves both high schools and their athletes. The board heard the informational report and directed staff to continue outreach and planning over the coming months.
