The Poudre School District Comprehensive Planning committee supports the district’s long-range facilities planning efforts. This is a standing committee that continually monitors and evaluates facility utilization, boundaries, and the possible need for new school facilities or large-scale renovations in the future.
Committee Work and Recommendations
In its first year of work, the committee is primarily focused on gathering information, learning about the PSD system and previous long-range planning efforts, as well as the myriad factors that influence building utilization and enrollment patterns across the district.
The committee is charged with making recommendations to the superintendent and Cabinet. It is anticipated that the committee will not put forward recommendations until the end of its second year of operation (i.e. spring of 2027), at the earliest, unless otherwise charged by the Board of Education.
Meetings
The Comprehensive Planning Committee meets bimonthly (once every two months), and more frequently as deemed necessary by the committee.
Since this is a working committee, committee meetings are not open to the public. Public input on the recommendations that the committee will develop will be gathered during listening sessions and/or through surveys or other data collection methods determined by the committee, or through community comment at Board of Education meetings.
