Fayette County Public school officials said this week that they are changing their practice regarding ambulances at high school athletic events.
Now they will have an ambulance at all high school home games, instead of just games involving two Fayette teams.
When Paul Laurence Dunbar High football player Tyler Browning sustained a serious break to his leg in October in the school’s home game against Scott County, there was not an ambulance on site as recommended by Kentucky High School Athletic Association rules. Fayette County Public School officials had a contract with a private company to have an ambulance on site at all games where two Fayette County schools were playing each other, but not when one of the teams was from another district, the Herald-Leader reported in October.
