Hillsborough Co. Schools To Have Athletic Trainers

All high schools in Hillsborough County will now be required to have a full-time athletic trainer on campus.

The school district voted for the requirement at a meeting last night.

The decision comes after student Hezekiah Walters died of a heat stroke during conditioning practice at Middleton High School back in June.

It'll cost schools about 270-thousand dollars each to employ the new trainers.
