PSD school board sets special meeting for new vote on Blevins' fate
Poudre School District’s Board of Education has scheduled a special meeting Nov. 12 to revisit an amendment that could keep Blevins Middle School open beyond the current school year. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m. in the school board’s regular meeting room at PSD’s Johannsen Support Services Center, 2407 Laporte Ave., in Fort Collins, PSD spokesperson John Cope told the Coloradoan on Nov. 9. It will be livestreamed on the district's YouTube page and Comcast/Xfinity Channel 10. There are only two items on the agenda, both amendments to the school consolidations, closures and boundary changes the Board of Education previously approved by a 5-2 vote. In addition to taking a new vote on the amendment that would have removed Blevins Middle School from the closure list, a second amendment will also be discussed and voted upon to adjust the boundary changes that would move about 40 students living west of Interstate 25 from the Bamford Elementary School attendance area to the Bacon Elementary School attendance area, according to the agenda that was published online Nov. 10. There will be no opportunity for community comment at the Nov. 12 meeting, according to that agenda. A previously approved plan
