Trinidad School District Board to Meet March 18 on Budget, District Business

Trinidad School District No. 1 posted its Regular Board Meeting agenda to the district website on March 17, one day before the scheduled Wednesday session on budget and district business.

The agenda, titled "TSD#1 Regular Board Meeting Agenda - March 18, 2026," served as formal public notice of the session at the district's offices at 607 Miner Drive in Trinidad. The posting set the meeting's time, location, and items for the board's regular public session, though the specific agenda items for March 18 were not detailed in the district's public notice excerpt.

The five-member board, which as of the June 2024 agenda included Yvette Dominguez, Brett Duran, Patrick Sandoval, Claudia Trujillo, and Selina Vallejos, convenes regularly to address a range of district business. Superintendent Bonnie Aaron and CFO Kristen Armijo support board operations, with the CFO's report a standard fixture on the agenda.

Past regular meetings have followed a consistent pattern. The June 26, 2024 session, held at 6:00 p.m. in the Trinidad Middle School Board Room, included action items such as approval of a Memorandum of Understanding with Willdan, the Abacus and Gobins contracts, and a resolution to adopt a preliminary budget for the 2024-2025 school year. That same meeting addressed personnel items including the resignation of Kate Newburgh, an English teacher at Trinidad High School, and the approval of a new District Athletic Director job description.

The September 28, 2022 meeting opened with a special Strategic Planning session at 5:00 p.m. before the regular meeting at 6:00 p.m., also in the Trinidad Middle School Board Room. That session's agenda included a McGuffey award to James Sanchez, retirement recognition for Fred Vasquez and Kim Ruscetti, achievement reports from Shonie Pachelli, Deana Pachelli, and Paul Nameth, and a vote to sell the Eckhart Elementary School property through Resolution #2022-3.
