I am a student at Trinidad High School. Our school board has recently made a decision to consolidate the schools in our district by combining our High School with the Park West section of our Middle School, which used to be an Elementary. This area would give us 12 rooms in total with only 10 classrooms included all on one narrow hallway. Our electives such as Art, Wood shop , Spanish, Childhood Development and our Special Education classes and teachers will have to remain at the current building. Students are to walk between campuses with only a 1 minute leisure. Teachers may not agree but they unfortunately don’t have a choice, but as students and the support from parents we are pushing for what we believe is right. The district is at stake of loosing many students and potentially jeopardizing our futures. We the students at THS believe we deserve a say so and a better heads up on what choices that are being made as well as being more aware of school board meetings that are scheduled. This districts school board strongly lacks communication with their students and their parents and we all believe this is an issue that needs to be addressed as soon as possible so this is why we make this petition to get as many votes necessary to overcome what we believe is the wrong decision.
