The State Board of Education will decide this Thursday whether or not to dissolve the Adams County 14 School District, after the district’s relationship with its state-mandated private management company to fix student performance deteriorated earlier this year.

But CBS4 has found Adams 14 is not the only educational system in the metro area to have problems with that company.

The contract was supposed to last for two years, but Mines ended it a year early, in spring 2021, saying the company “failed to meet reasonable expectations and its material obligations.” Dr. Robert Lundin, Director of Communications for Adams 14, says news of another educational institution having issues with MGT is not surprising.

School of Mines ended up paying MGT $100,000 for the partially-complete contract, instead of the originally agreed-upon $200,000 price tag.claims nearly $500,000 of that may have been for duplicate servicesSince Adams 14’s relationship with MGT deteriorated, it’s up to the state to decide what will happen next, whether the district gets more charter schools, a new management company, or it’s dissolved altogether. A hearing on the matter will be held Thursday.

A spokesperson for the state school board and Colorado Department of Education declined to comment about the School of Mines development, but added, “CDE and the State Board of Education are focused on what’s happening now in the district and developing a pathway that will lead to dramatic improvements in student outcomes.”
