– The St. Martin Parish School Board voted at its meeting this past Wednesday to approve two matters it had put off at its July meeting.
The Finance Committee recommended approving a contract with Lafayette General Health System for athletic trainers in the school system after approving most of the contract in July while setting aside provisions concerning the amount of money for the stipend paid to the trainers, and the cost of a sponsorship payment from LGH, at the request of board chairman Mark Hebert.
The contract calls for maintaining the current $10,000 annual stipend for each of the three athletic trainers instead of moving to the proposed percentage stipend. It also removes the proposed summer compensation provisions because of a revised agreement term ending May 31, 2027.
