Colorado City Unified School District

Colorado City Unified School District No. 14 is a school district headquartered in Colorado City, Arizona, United States.

CCUSD, which serves Colorado City and surrounding areas in unincorporated Mohave County (Centennial Park and Cane Beds), has one school, the Colorado City K-12 Public School.

Colorado City USD had 1,200 pupils in 2000. When Warren Jeffs ordered Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints members to pull children out of public schools, the number dwindled to 250. Jeffs did not order the fundamentalist church members who made up the majority of the school district's administrators to quit their positions. The Arizona state government attempted to take over the district in 2005 due to mismanagement [http://kutv.com/topstories/local_story_223230743.html] [http://www.azstarnet.com/sn/hourlyupdate/88285.php] [http://www.ade.az.gov/administration/superintendent/articles/Colorado%20City%20Response%20to%204-19-04%20editorial.pdf] . The state government appointed an observer as all FLDS members of the Colorado City Board of Education left their posts. The Arizona Department of Education concluded that the district improved after state intervention.
