The Poudre School District Board of Education on Oct. 7 unanimously approved a series of resolutions and procedural motions, recording formal 7‑0 votes on multiple items during the public meeting.
What the board approved at a glance - Resolution in support of LGBTQIA+ History Month, October 2025 — Approved 7–0. Rocky Mountain High School teacher and GSA sponsor Erin Noblick spoke to the board about student perspectives and the value of visible support; several board members read portions of the resolution aloud before voting. - Resolution in support of National Bullying Prevention Month, October 2025 — Approved 7–0. District compliance staffer Kirsten Espinosa outlined the district’s prevention efforts, including required staff training under state law and the district’s online “See Something Say Something” reporting icon. - Resolution in support of Indigenous Peoples’ Day, Oct. 13, 2025 — Approved 7–0. Community members Philip and Miguel Chavez addressed the board and described local Indigenous history and cultural activities. - Agenda amendment to add executive session (pursuant to the CRS language cited on the record) to discuss positions related to negotiation strategy — Approved 7–0. The amendment was moved and seconded early in the meeting. - Motion to convene executive session on two negotiation topics (real‑estate exchange agreement amendment and proposed intergovernmental agreement change related to the Southeast Community Center) — Approved 7–0; board then entered a closed session.
Each formal motion was recorded by roll call. When the board called for the vote on the three resolutions, the roll included: Jim Brokish, Kristen Draper, Connor Duffy, Kevin Havela, Scott Schoenbauer, Andrew Spain and Jessica Zamora; each director voted in favor.
There was no dissent on the formal votes reported at the meeting. The board’s minutes will record the full text of each resolution and the official vote tallies. Several public speakers and school staff addressed the board before and after the votes to describe the resolutions’ significance to students and families.
Ending: The votes were procedural or ceremonial in nature; the board’s more substantive business that night included the Irish Elementary improvement plan presentation and the instructional‑minutes action team’s recommendation, which the board discussed at length without voting on changes.
