The Poudre School District Board of Education voted unanimously Tuesday to adopt a resolution supporting state ballot measures described at the meeting as Colorado's "healthy school meals for all." The motion was made by Director Connor Duffy and seconded by Director Jessica Zamora; the roll call vote was 7–0 in favor.
Board members who spoke in support framed the resolution as a student‑wellness measure.

The resolution was introduced as an action item early in the meeting; no amendments or dissenting arguments were recorded. The vote was taken by roll call and the board president announced the motion passed 7–0. The board moved on to its superintendent report and other agenda items after the action.
