what of aps' good administrators?

consider the plight of "good" aps administrators;

good administrators are the ones who are willing to support honest accountability to meaningful standards of conduct and competence, for admininstators.
if they continue to advocate for accountability, they will fall victim to retribution and retalitation.
  • the district's culture of retribution and retaliation was built in no small part by gil lovato and the aps police.
  • just because gil lovato (presumably) no longer controls aps' private security police force; does not mean that the leadership of the aps does not still have a praetorian guard at their absolute disposal. they are accountable to no one outside of the leadership of the aps.
  • more importantly it does nothing to mitigate the influence of maes/modrall in dealing with those who make waves.
if there is an example of even one aps administrator who has bucked the system and survived; I am unaware of it.

the usual result is; the good administrator learns;
when in rome, one does as the romans.
they accustom themselves to survival in a system that enables corruption and incompetence and survives by instilling fear. real fear.

the only protection that is of any use to a "good" administrator; is a system under which everybody is held accountable to the rules.
accountable by a system beyond their undue influence;
and even against their will.

that system does not exist.

the leadership of the aps has provided for no mechanism by which they can be held accountable for their conduct or competence.
they have provided for no audit.

"good" administrators in the aps will survive an accountability audit.

in fact an audit is the best thing good administrators can hope for.
they deserve an audit. they are owed an audit.

there is only one reason to resist an audit.

if the corrupt and incompetent in the leadership of the aps are successful in derailing an audit; it will be at the expense of good administrators; and good teachers, and students, and parents, and the community best interests.

and it will be because the journal and the trib continue to aid and abet the corrupt and incompetent.
