HANOVERTON The United Local school board Wednesday night hired medical personnel to attend winter sport events.
The board hired Mollie Phillis, Megan Weyant and Susan Laughlin as athletic trainers for wrestling and boys and girls basketball at $20 per hour. Superintendent Lance Hostetler originally suggested capping the amount for athletic training at $2,500 for the season, but the board chose to leave the total indefinite based on how many events will require a trainer.
Hostetler said the district had no medical worker at the wrestling events last year and a student athlete suffered an injury that needed attention. He noted it will not always possible to have one of the trainers at the events.
