LOWELL — The Lowell School Committee takes up two high-stakes legal matters during its biweekly meeting Wednesday night. In addition to its public meeting at City Hall, the committee also has an executive session to discuss an “update and guidance on negotiations with potential providers for athletic training services at Lowell High School.”
Executive sessions are meetings that are not open to the public.
The item under closed discussion is presumed to be related to Damon Amato, the former athletic trainer at Lowell High School accused of inappropriately touching two underage student athletes who went to him for treatment of their injuries. One claim is as recent as 2021. Amato’s contact information and email were still on LHS’s coaching staff directory page as of late Tuesday afternoon.
Amato, 42, of Northboro, who worked at the school from 2004 to 2022 and currently operates Bay State Athletic Training Services, is charged with three counts of indecent assault and battery on a person aged 14 or older.
The Lowell Public Schools released a 250-word undated statement following Amato’s arraignment in Middlesex Superior Court on Jan. 23, “The manager of the training services corporation, who is also a past employee of Lowell Public Schools, was arraigned yesterday in Middlesex Superior Court for a charge of indecent assault and battery on a person over 14 years of age.”
