Malloy Congratulates Westport Moms

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy poses today at the Staples High School field house with the three Westport mothers who led a successful campaign to upgrade Connecticut’s concussion law. They are (l-r) Pippa Bell Ader, Ann Sherwood, and Diana Coyne. The new law broadens a 2010 law regarding youth athletics and concussions by giving parents more information and power when their child suffers a potential head injury while playing sports. The bill requires schools to give parents a consent form regarding the school’s concussion education plan. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
