Listening Sessions and Community Engagement

Share your thoughts with us

Listening sessions are opportunities for members of the public, including staff, families, students, and community members, to provide feedback on the scenarios that the PSD Facilities Planning Steering Committee is developing. All sessions follow the same format - an overview presentation, followed by small-table conversations and a questionnaire.

The Facilities Planning Steering Committee presented possible options at the March 19 PSD Board of Education meeting. After gathering feedback from listening sessions, the committee will make two to three recommendations to the school board. The board will be asked to make a decision about how to proceed at its June 11 meeting. 

Feedback Opportunities

Revised Scenarios: To provide feedback on the latest proposed scenarios, please complete this questionnaire, open May 10-19. To see the revised scenarios, visit the Facilities Planning Steering Committee web page. 

June 4 Board Listening Session

May 13 update: June 4 Board Listening Session expanded to include more time options, moved to RMHS

The PSD Board of Education looks forward to hearing feedback from all who wish to participate at their June 4 listening session focused on potential school consolidation, closure, and boundary adjustment scenarios. In order to hear more voices and have a more collaborative process, the listening session will be structured in a conversational style, mirroring the format used at the Facilities Planning Steering Committee’s eight listening sessions. This is a change in format from the board’s April 16 listening session. ​​​​​​

Six one-hour sessions will take place in classrooms at Rocky Mountain High School, located at 11300 W. Swallow Road, Fort Collins, on Tuesday, June 4. One board member will be assigned to each classroom. Three one-hour sessions will also be held online at 10 a.m., 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. on June 4. 

Registration for in-person sessions opened May 13 and is now closed due to attendance being at capacity. Those interested are encouraged to participate in one of the three virtual sessions at 10 a.m., 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. A Zoom link for those will be provided closer to the meeting. 

In-person one-hour time slots (Note - these are FULL, registration is closed):  

• 9-10 a.m. (60 seats)
• 10-11 a.m. (40 seats)

Those who sign up for a session can spend the hour talking with the school board member in their room. Any questions an attendee has that are not answered during the conversation can be written on a notecard, along with a contact email address. Board members will collect these cards after every session. The sessions will not be livestreamed.
