Mr. Olt,
I am a concerned parent in Stetson Creek Subdivision. The continued growth in our
immediate are has caused massive overcrowding in the schools.
The Poudre School District has approved of the building plans submitted however they
have grossly failed at an attempt to keep up. They are in the process of making poor and
unreasonable judgements regarding school boundaries. For the 1999-2000 school year,
my children will not be able to attend Preston Junior High or the new elementary school
that just opened in our back yard. Both schools are visible from our front door and are
within walking distance.
I plead with you to reconsider the plans to build townhouses (12 units per acre) and stop
or delay those plans until the school district can get their act together. They need a lot
of help and could maybe use your input.
We like Fort Collins and bought our home in this area because of the proximity to the
schools. Sadly, the Poudre School District is making our area an undesirable place to
live. We have only been here ten months and are seriously searching to relocate in
Loveland or Windsor. My neighbor has put their house on the market and are moving
back to Denver for this same reason.
Please help the Fort Collins community to solve this problem by addressing concerns to
the Poudre School District.
Your response on this issue would be much appreciated.
