Trinity Approves Preschool Program

Trinity Area School Board authorized awarding a bid proposal of $458,623 from Blueprints for developing and implementing a preschool program during the 2025-2026 school year. The program will be funded through the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, a federal initiative for local education. The programs will be located in Trinity East and Trinity South Elementary Schools. Another adjustment which will be done at Trinity South is the baseball field of the school has had drainage problems during heavy rainstorms and will be leveled prior to the beginning of the season. In a separate motion, the board authorized the district’s administration to reset the bidding process on a new Visual Emergency Notification System. The district would like to acquire a system with additional features of digital signage, wireless screen mirroring, and general announcements capability. The new system will be merged into the district’s existing technology infrastructure, 280 Promethean ActivPanels and 40 display/televisions used for digital signage in six buildings. In other matters, the board also approved the purchase of a new Fusion Epilog Laser Engraver from Allegheny Educational Systems, Inc at the cost of $15,636.40. The machine is funded from General Funds of Pennsylvania Education Purchasing Program for Microcomputers and will be installed in Trinity Middle School.
