The District seeks an external management partner to work alongside with the District staff as a partner to advance the District’s mission and vision via systemic improvement and turnaround efforts to ensure our students receive a high-quality and rigorous education that will prepare them for college or a career pathway of their choice. At a minimum, the management partner organization will assist the District in building a solid district infrastructure that will result in increased academic outcomes for all students, including exiting the district and all schools from performance watch and turnaround status. The external management partner will serve at the pleasure of the Adams 14 Board of Education and the Superintendent pursuant to their respective constitutional and statutory authorities. Within 30 days of State Board review and approval of the selected management entity, the district board shall execute a contract authorizing the selected and approved entity to administer the affairs and programs of the District commencing no later than April 30, 2022, and continuing for a term of not less than three years (36 months). The contract can be terminated by either party by providing a one month notice of termination of contract. Under the terms of the State Board’s final Order, the selected external management partner will be responsible for collaborating with the District and its leadership in making decisions involving the administration of the affairs and programs of the District, subject only to the limitations mandated by the Colorado Constitution, Art. IX, sec. 15, the Colorado Revised Statutes, and other laws.
