Sally Gaytan feels better about letting her son lace up his cleats and play football for the Vela Middle School Panthers on Saturday mornings, she said.
Starting this school year, students participating in athletic programs at the Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District are going to have a tougher time coming back to practice after sustaining a head injury.
"The additional steps they are taking to make sure students are 100 percent healthy after a head injury makes me, as a parent, feel that these programs have the students' safety in mind," said Gaytan, a parent of an eighth grade football player at Vela Middle School and teacher at Harlingen High School South.
