who decides, who decides?

there is a context for all of the contention in the aps.

the prizes are decision making power, and money;
a half a billion (?) a year.

all of that power and money ends up in the hands of
a very few people. and in the absence of transparency
and accountability;they can decide to do whatever
they want to do with all of the money and power.

if others get to spend some of the power and money;
it comes with strings. the few people who control the power
decide who will decide.

you don’t pick your own principal,
you pick from among the picked.

I was there in the very, very beginning of site based decision making in aps. they promised us; if the site makes a decision, the decision is binding even over the objection of the administration.

the truth is; they had no such intention.

the record; substantiates no such outcome.

everything that you think is happening, is only happening because someone is allowing it to happen. and as soon as they no longer want it to happen, it will stop a happening.

they have no credibility. there is no table at which you can sit assured the truth is sitting with you.

they will not hold themselves accountable to the truth.

they claim that they are accountable to the truth; but they are yet to prove it.

the only way to prove honest accountabilility, is to put something in motion that you cannot control; like an honest and impartial audit.

or by creating a manner by which accountability is provided, that is beyond your control; for eight measly hours a day.

they offer no evidence in rebuttal.

they will not illuminate the public interests and resources in the public schools. real transparency does not exist. if it did, the accounting of the uptown administrative complex would be on the table.

they blatantly mock the requirements of the new mexico inspection of public records act. public resources are used to pay unscrupulous lawyers to hide public records from the public.

they removed from their own standard of conduct, any requirement to model the student standard of conduct. they have abdicated as role models for 98,000 of this communities sons and daughters.



socrates wrote that power corrupts. I submit that it does not. the capacity to abuse power without consequence corrupts.

absolutely.
