"beth’s" goals

from the aps website link

(1) APS will provide the best education in the nation…

by any reasonable measure,

not even close.

(2) APS will be accountable and efficient. Accountable … for every penny of taxpayers money. Efficient in the allocation and use of your money; there will be no waste or excuses. APS resources will go to the classroom.


the test here is that she won’t tell you how much the new board room cost. Nor will she tell you who in responsible for assigning a higher priority to the board room than to dilapidated classrooms.

not even close; prima facie


(3) APS will protect every student. When a student comes to school, we will do everything to ensure their safety. Their learning environment will be safe and secure.


in a safe school, the adults are in charge. in any school where prohibited behavior is openly permitted (like "sagging" in blatant violation of board policy); students are in charge; the school is less safe and the learning environment is less secure.

everitt forfeited the moral authority of adults over children when she changed the employee code of conduct. she removed from that code the expectation that

in no case shall the standard of conduct for adults be lower than the standard of conduct for students.

everitt and the leadership of the aps have on the record repeatedly refused honest accountability to the student standard of conduct. she, and the leadership of the aps, hold students accountable to higher standard of conduct than their own.

she simply abdicated her responsibility as the senior administrative role model for 98,000 of our sons and daughters.

not even close.

despite three obvious strikes, she will not be called out by an independent impartial aps administrative accountability audit.

because she, with the help of the privileged class, will thwart
any audit of the record of the administrative leadership of the aps;

in order to protect herself, board members and the
many senior administrators who will fail the audit.


if the leadership of the aps had any intention of being audited, the audit would have begun. annual audits would be a long standing tradition, a source of pride, and an assurance for tax payers that their interests are protected.

not even close
