To allow public high schools to have full time athletic trainers

HB 3234 requires West Virginia public high schools participating in organized sports, ROTC, or performing arts to employ a full-time licensed athletic trainer. County school districts must hire one trainer per high school (using their budget, levies, or CARES funds) or contract with a healthcare provider, ensuring consistent medical coverage for all student-athletes. The bill mandates that trainers handle specialized procedures like concussion evaluations, musculoskeletal injury management, and emergency protocols per state athletic policies. This replaces current part-time or ad-hoc arrangements with a standardized, full-time requirement for student athlete safety.
