Gallegos Garbage Collection Changes
 | This year with all the garbage changes Gallegos has changed the way the HOA pays for trash. Stetson HOA is now 'sponsoring' the 35 gallon trash bin and you will be billed for a year's worth of this trash service with your HOA dues as in the past. However, for anyone who is using a trash bin larger than 35 gallon, that owner will be billed directly by Gallegos for that difference on a monthly basis. Cost for 35 gallon bin = $8/month or $96/year (will be billed with HOA annual billing) Cost for 65 gallon bin = $16/month - therefore, the homowner will be billed the difference ($16-$8) or $8/month for a 65 gallon bin. Cosr for 95 gallon bin = $24/month - therefore, the homowner will be billed the difference ($24-$8) or $16/month for a 65 gallon bin. The reasoning behind this is so that the individual homeowner sees the benefit of trying to reduce their trash bin size and increase their recycling efforts. Let me know if you have further questions. Gallegos will be discussed at our annual meeting (TBA) for 2011 to answer any questions from our homeowners. Please see the Gallegos website for more information: http://www.gallegossanitation.com/Services/Residential.html |

PSD Restructuring This website was created to inform, receive feedback and respond to questions from PSD employees, parents, students and the community about restructuring in Poudre School District. For each area (listed below), a number of links have been created at left. We encourage you to use the "Input and Feedback" links. Responses to questions received via the "Input and Feedback" links will be posted under "Frequently Asked Questions." To access information, click on a section at left, and select from the pull-down menu. PSD Restructuring has three key, interrelated areas: LEADERSHIP/RESTRUCTURING - Empower principals as senior instructional leaders of the district working directly with the Superintendent of Schools to balance the individual needs of schools with overall district priorities. DISTRICT IMPROVEMENT - Utilize the seven Baldrige Education Criteria for Performance Excellence district-wide. Everything we currently do in this District fits into these criteria for continuous improvement. SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT - Implement the Transitions Endorsement model for school and District Accreditation to improve individual student achievement and instructional effectiveness. This model calls for elementary, junior, and senior high feeder schools to work closely together so students can successfully transition from home to school, school to school, and school to career. In addition, District Financial Information regarding PSD's budget is included in one of the sections. Please note: additions and revisions are in progress; some sections may not yet contain information. It will be added as soon as information is available, and updates can be made.
