Following Accreditation Loss, Adams 14 Plans To Work With External Manager, Adhere To State Order

By Kati Weis, CBS Denver:

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (CBS4) – Following the loss of its accreditation this week, the Adams County School District 14 says it “will continue to operate in a good faith partnership with its external management partner: Adams 14 Schools Succeed / MGT Consulting, LLC.” On Monday, the Colorado State Board of Education ordered Adams 14 to come to an agreement with MGT by Thursday, or risk permanent accreditation removal.

“As always, Adams County School District 14 intends to act in the best interests of its students, staff, families, and the Commerce City community,” a school district spokesperson said in a statement to CBS4. “Adams County School District 14 anticipates no disruption to the accreditation of its schools and will adhere to all deadlines specified by SBE.”

The school district’s announcement to continue the partnership comes following a more than two-year controversy. In 2018, the state board ordered Adams 14 to have a private management company run the district, due to consistent poor student performance, instead of stripping the district of its accreditation at that time.
