BOULDER, Colo.—School district officials planned to meet this week to discuss the future of a counselor who pleaded guilty to soliciting a prostitute.
Casey Middle School counselor Michael Todd Barta, 46, pleaded guilty Friday to the misdemeanor charge. He was scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 11.
Barta has been on paid leave since his arrest in June.
Police were tipped off to Barta by a woman who identified herself as a professional escort who met him online. She said she recognized him as a counselor at her child’s school.
Barta has been a counselor at Casey since 2000.
Boulder Valley School District officials will decide what’s next for Barta after reviewing his court record in coming days, spokesman Briggs Gamblin said.
