Parents in the Poudre School District breathed big sighs of relief after the school board voted Monday night to stop talks of school closures. The board's vote happened during an emergency board meeting the board called after receiving massive community pushback to the district's consolidation plans. Tuesday afternoon, just outside Johnson Elementary School in Fort Collins, parents joined their kids for a bike ride. The bike parade was originally scheduled in protest against Poudre's planned school consolidation. But today, it feels like a victory lap. "I am not the most emotional person but there were definitely tears of joy last night," said Kelly Steinway, a mother of two and Johnson Elementary School PTO president. Steinway and other parents watched closely Monday night when the board took its vote. "As the votes went, our hands just kept getting higher and higher for every person and finally, the last vote came in and the cheers erupted," Steinway said. "It was such a feeling of relief and also, a little somber because we know it's only buying us time." Parents from Johnson Elementary along with a number of other Poudre schools have been pushing back on the proposed closing of schools for months. "And the speed of it just made me question a lot. There were a lot of red flags," Steinway said.
