Poudre Schools Face Heat Crisis | Denver News

Poudre School District in Northern Colorado is bracing for extreme heat, forcing early dismissals at most elementary and middle schools Thursday as many campuses lack adequate air conditioning. Students will still receive meals, but after-school activities and field trips are canceled — except at high schools like Fort Collins and Rocky Mountain, which remain on schedule. Charter schools decide independently. While recent funding has upgraded AC at two schools with more underway, roughly 30 campuses still need work — a multi-year effort. Officials are watching Friday’s forecast for possible repeat action as they balance student safety with aging infrastructure and budget limits.
