Public commenter urges retention and expansion of athletic trainer; board approves trainer agreement
Summary
A community member urged the district to keep the athletic trainer contract and consider extending it to a 12‑month position; the board later approved an independent contractor athletic trainer agreement unanimously.
During public comment, community member John Saulbert raised concerns about campus parking and spoke in favor of the district’s athletic trainer, recommending the district "keep the trainer contract, and to potentially extend to a twelve month position with increased compensation." Saulbert also suggested signage to deter parking in some campus areas.
The board later took action to approve an Independent Contractor Athletic Trainer agreement under agenda item M264‑2526; the motion to approve the agreement carried 5–0. The motion is recorded as "Mr. Serpa moved to approve the Independent Contractor - Athletic Trainer Agreement as presented in 9.21 of the supporting document." The motion and vote indicate the board chose to retain the trainer under a formal contract.
Trustees did not specify contract dollar amounts in the meeting minutes; Business Services will administer the contractor arrangement as part of standard personnel contract processes.
