The APS Office of Equal Opportunity Services

This is the office where the leadership of the APS handles the complaints that people file against senior administrators and board members.

EOES Director Charles Becknell and I were having a spirited discussion. He wanted to know why I was filing a complaint against Elizabeth Everitt, if I didn’t believe that he was going to do anything about it.

I said, “To document the fact that you won’t.”

Those documents are public records. They will show what is done with a complaint made against a senior APS administrator and adjudicated by a subordinate APS administrator.

If you make a request for public records, the leaders of the APS, and the lawyers of Modrall will tell you that you will not be given the opportunity to inspect or copy those public records because they are confidential; because they are “personnel matters”.

The New Mexico Inspection of Public Records Act provides no exception to the requirements of the Act either for the leaders of the APS, or for the lawyers of Modrall. Loopholes in the legal system do. Unethical litigation does.

Would it surprise you to learn that you cannot get a judge to hold a lawyer accountable to any meaningful standard of conduct; even in a state district courtroom and in full view of the court?

If you want to know the truth about whether or not there was a betrayal of the public trust by a public servant, you can have copies of the OEOS findings in the complaint filed against senior APS administrator and praetorian guard commander, Gil Lovato.

They will cost you 50 cents a page and what ever else it costs you to pry them out of the fingers of a Modrall lawyer. He will resist you until ordered otherwise by “…a judge after exhausting all possible appeals…”

He can afford to do that because the Modrall Law Firm feeds at a bottomless trough of unwitting taxpayer support for the “education” of their children.

The actual number of tax dollars flowing into Modrall, is on public records that will be pried from the fingers of a Modrall lawyer and only after ...

An audit by I think, the district’s insurer, found that the district spent an excessive amount of money on litigation. Another public record that …

Besides making a lot of money doing what they love, the lawyers of Modrall have another interest in litigating for the leadership of the APS. The President of Modrall is married to the President of the School Board, Paula Maes.

It is unclear how much money goes into the household income of Paula Maes, for the unethical litigation that allows senior APS administrators and board members, including Paula Maes, to dodge accountability to allegations of ethical and criminal misconduct.

That probably isn’t on any record, any where.
