• Rural families could bear the brunt of proposed Poudre School District closures (rmpbs.org) — Families in Red Feather Lakes face the possible closure of their local elementary school under a Poudre School District proposal to shut nine schools starting in fall 2027. Parents from the district's rural Mountain Schools warn that long bus rides, uncertain transportation plans, and loss of a key community hub could push families to leave the area or homeschool, and they're urging alternatives before the October board vote.
