Board approves one‑year athletic trainer contract after debate over multi‑year term
Summary
Trustees approved ATI Holdings LLC for athletic trainer services effective Aug. 1, 2026, but limited the agreement to one year after members debated rate stability versus board flexibility and budget uncertainty.
Trustees approved a one‑year renewal with ATI Holdings LLC to provide athletic trainer services to Monroe Public Schools effective Aug. 1, 2026, after a contentious discussion over whether to accept the vendor’s three‑year contract or keep a one‑year arrangement. Administration said the three‑year term would lock rates and protect the district against market increases; several trustees argued a one‑year contract preserves flexibility amid tight budgets and potential board turnover.
Superintendent Sean explained the three‑year option “locks in that hard number” to avoid future market shocks, while at least two trustees argued annual renewals better match the district’s budgeting cycle. After debate, the motion was amended to a one‑year contract (through 07/30/2027) and passed by roll call. The administration noted the contract contains an out clause and that the district will continue to seek alternatives if other vendors become available.
