Desk 03

Learning in the City

Fort Collins Education

A reader-first desk for CSU, Poudre School District, libraries, classrooms, workforce learning, and the decisions around them.

The lead field file

Commissioning brief

Three public systems, one learning city

School, university, and library decisions overlap in everyday Fort Collins life.

This desk watches the source calendars and governing materials published by CSU, Poudre School District, and Poudre Libraries. It will separate a proposal from a vote and a pilot from an established program.

The first reported feature will choose one shared question—access, facilities, reading, or workforce training—and speak with accountable adults while minimizing collection of information about minors.

Supporting dispatches

Three ways into the desk

These are the recurring story forms the desk is built to report—not claims that unfinished fieldwork has already happened.

01

Agenda in plain English

The consequential item, its stage, and where to read the full record.

02

Campus to city

CSU programs and decisions with a direct Fort Collins reader payoff.

03

Library field notes

Public programs, collections, spaces, and practical access updates.

Board and campus agenda watch · monthly explainer · semester field guide

What must clear before publication

No student profile is published without informed consent and editor review. Safety, disability, discipline, and minor-specific information receive heightened privacy review.
