Trinidad School District posts April 22 board meeting agenda online

Trinidad School District #1 put its April 22 regular board meeting agenda online on April 21, giving parents, staff and taxpayers a public marker to watch as the district moved through the spring stretch of the 2025-26 school year. In a small district where a calendar change, a staffing shift or a spending decision can ripple quickly from Fisher’s Peak Elementary to Trinidad High School, the agenda is one of the first signs of what the board is preparing to handle.

The district has built much of that visibility into its website. Along with news updates, Trinidad School District #1 posts current-year documents, board information, calendars and pages for Fisher’s Peak Elementary, Trinidad Middle School and Trinidad High School. The current-year documents page lists the 2025-2026 school calendar and SY 2025-2026 registrations, underscoring that the April 22 meeting fell in the middle of an active school year, not a quiet break between terms.

The board of education page lists Brett Duran, Claudia Trujillo, Diane Montoya, Selina Vallejos and Yvette Domingue, and it also keeps minutes, agendas and administrative policies online. That matters because Colorado law allows local governments to post public meeting notices on a website, with notices accessible at no charge and, if feasible, searchable by meeting type, date, time and agenda contents. For district followers in Trinidad and Las Animas County, the board page serves as one of the clearest windows into how decisions are being organized before they are voted on in public.

The timing also landed in the middle of several other district priorities. On April 21, Trinidad School District #1 posted a welcome to the Class of 2030 for Trinidad High School, which serves grades 9 through 12 and advertises core and career-technical classes, honor classes, dual credit through Trinidad State Junior College, internships, clubs and athletics. The same online news stream around that period also listed preschool registration, TMS summer school and a hiring post, a sign that enrollment, staffing and student-program questions were all moving at once.

Trinidad School District #1 describes itself as Colorado’s first established school district, and that history gives extra weight to the way it handles public notice now. The district had 793 preliminary students in SY 2024-25, including 204 at Trinidad High School, so even routine board business carries outsized local consequences. With leadership continuity still a live issue after Olivia Bachicha was named sole finalist for superintendent in June 2025, the board’s public agenda remains a key checkpoint for families watching how the district steers schools, staffing and resources this spring.
