Summary
The Poudre School District R-1 Board of Education unanimously approved two ceremonial resolutions on Jan. 27 recognizing February as Career and Technical Education Month and National School Counseling Week; presentations by staff and a student intern illustrated district CTE pathways and counselors’ roles.
At its Jan. 27 meeting the Poudre School District R-1 Board of Education approved two ceremonial resolutions.
The board unanimously approved a resolution recognizing Career and Technical Education Month after a presentation from Kelsey Berger, the district’s Career and Technical Education coordinator, who outlined expanded access to CTE pathways (including universal eighth-grade career exploration events and elementary-level career lessons supported by paid high‑school interns). Middle‑school principal Joe Zappa and student intern Brinley described local implementation and the student experience.
The board also unanimously approved a resolution recognizing National School Counseling Week (February 2026). K–12 counselor coordinator Beth Green and Andrea Christiansen, a middle‑school counselor, spoke about counselors’ roles in academic, social and emotional support and crisis intervention across grade levels.
Both resolutions were approved by roll-call vote (CTE resolution recorded as 7–0; Counseling resolution recorded as 7–0). The board thanked presenters and arranged photos following the votes.
These were ceremonial recognitions and did not require further action. The presentations served to highlight district programming and to inform later discussion about broader curriculum and budget matters.
