Adams 14 has become the first district in Colorado to lose its accreditation, after failing to reconcile with the private company managing its affairs.
On Monday, the State Board of Education gave the district three days to regain its status, while scolding both district and company leaders for fighting over “adult issues.”
The district lost its accreditation after missing the State Board’s Friday deadline to submit a joint statement with MGT Consulting, the management company, to report that they were working together. Instead, Adams 14 submitted a solo statement claiming it had tried to resolve issues and blaming the company for making demands the district could not agree to.
