Scottsbluff board signs athletic trainer agreement with Regional West after provider cost changes
Summary
Regional West Medical Center will resume athletic-training services under a new agreement that provides a trainer for 62% time (25 hours/week) during the school year; the district will pay a proportionate share and a set hourly rate for July coverage.
The board approved a new athletic-training services agreement with Regional West Medical Center after staff said the hospital could no longer sustain the district's prior reduced-cost model. Staff said the trainer would be available from August through early July, assigned at 62% (about 25 hours per week), and that a set hourly rate applies for any July needs beyond the school-year assignment.
A staff presenter explained the district's longstanding relationship with Regional West and the need to update the model because the provider was incurring losses under the prior arrangement. The board voted to approve the agreement; staff will finalize contract terms and coordinate implementation with athletics and activities.
