The village's new code of conduct aims to ensure that no coach or volunteer is alone with a child, reinforcing necessary adult presence in all interactions.
The policy strictly forbids inappropriate contact or communication between volunteers, coaches, and children, emphasizing the need for mandatory reporting of abuse.
Village Manager Steve Williamson highlighted that enhanced background checks would be part of the new measures, aiming to prevent any future occurrences of abuse.
The key changes stem from an investigation into Oscar Olea, a coach now in jail, which revealed serious lapses in the village's child protection measures.
