Evidence description

User reports that no athletic trainer was present on the field during the September 30, 2026 JV football game and that this was the second JV game during the 2026 season without a trainer present. June 2025 booster minutes had previously documented Coach Smith requesting trainer support and being directed to school administrators.

What it proves

Supports a recurring concern about athletic trainer coverage and student safety, especially because trainer support had been raised with administration in the prior season.

What it does not prove

Does not independently establish why no trainer was present, whether another qualified medical professional was available elsewhere, whether policy required an athletic trainer at that specific JV game, or the exact date of the first 2026 game without trainer coverage.
