Rep. Perillo wants to protect students, coaches and schools.
During debate on the House Floor recently Rep. Perillo questioned the role of making high school coaches responsible for medical assessments and decisions regarding student athletes who may have suffered an impact that could have caused a concussion. Rep. Perillo was concerned that a proposed three-hour class would not be sufficient to allow a coach to correctly identify a concussion, leading to potential misdiagnosis and injury to the student. He was also concerned that such a misdiagnosis could leave the coach, school and town open to substantial legal liability should the student be injured further after being allowed back on the field of play.
