Blevins Middle School in Fort Collins was set to close after this school year. On November 12, the Poudre School District board voted 4–3 to take it off the closure list. The board’s amendment keeps the school open for at least five years. KUNC reported that the reversal followed a board member’s acknowledgment that she had voted by mistake when the board took up the closure in October.
The five years and the funding cover different spans. Under the amended plan, the district says it will dedicate funding to marketing and staffing at Blevins for the next two school years. The district also says it will form an advisory committee of Blevins families and district staff to work on enrollment and programming goals.
A second vote dealt with an attendance boundary. The board voted 7–0 to keep the area identified as grid code 1254 assigned to Bamford Elementary for 2027–28. The October plan had called for moving that area to Bacon Elementary. The district says the rest of the October resolution remains in effect, including the July 1, 2027 closures of Beattie, Johnson and Putnam elementary schools.
For families at schools that are still closing, the district’s family FAQ says to check the Student Information tile in ParentVUE for the 2027–28 assignment. Students whose neighborhood school changes will be registered automatically at their new neighborhood school. Families seeking a seat elsewhere can use School Choice. The first round is scheduled to run from November 30 to December 16, 2026; a seat depends on eligibility and available space.
