for the new Poudre School District Superintendent position. The COD

disabilities continues. Robinson agrees and has offered to attend public
forums, read articles, etc, to determine candidate’s philosophies on special
education and integrated services.

will be holding another “Anti Bullying” summit and if they would like the
COD to be involved again, and to what degree.
