On August 26, 2020, reports emerged that K12's training for teachers in Miami-Dade County Public Schools (Florida), one of the largest school districts in the country, had been ineffective and unacceptable. On this news, K12's shares fell by 7% over the course of two trading days, to close at $37.70 on August 27, 2020.
When classes in Miami-Dade commenced on August 31, 2020, K12's platform experienced major technical issues, disruptions, and a series of cyber attacks. In response, the district's superintendent revealed that the district had never executed its $15.3 million contract with K12. On this news, the price of K12 shares fell by 10.5% over the course of two trading days, to close at $34.89 on September 3, 2020.
A week later, facing overwhelming complaints from parents and teachers about K12's platform and curriculum, the Miami-Dade County Public Schools Board voted to terminate their contract with K12. On this news, the price of K12 common shares once again fell drastically, by 11.5%, to close at $30.55 on September 10, 2020.
Other school districts also discovered K12's inability to deliver on its promises. On September 17, 2020, following a loss of confidence in K12's ability to provide educational solutions for the district, the Beaufort County School Board (South Carolina) also voted to terminate its contract with K12. On this news, the price of K12's shares fell 4.9%, to close at $27.21 on September 18, 2020.
