Tom Savage is paid approximately $120,000 a year, $10,000 a month, $2,500 a week, $5oo dollars a day for his competence and conduct as a public servant.
It was his job, at least on paper, to make sure that the APS Police Department didn't deteriorate into a praetorian guard with a rogue commander.
It would have been his responsibility to insure that the department was accredited or certificated in some manner so as to ensure competence and propriety.
Apparently he has failed in that respect, and Beth Everitt has relieved him of his command over the APS Police Department.
A recent audit of the administration of the APS revealed that evaluations were subjective and unrelated to promotions or step placement.
Administrators are not placed in positions of power and resposibility by virtue of any objective measurement of their competence in that position. It's a good ole boy system that relatively recently started letting girls play too.
Tom Savage is a good ole boy who knows how to keep his mouth shut. One of the very first things he did to protect the leadership from the breaking scandal in the police department, was to order all APS employees to keep their mouths shut about what was going on.
He is the administrator who argued that you can't tell the real truth about what is going on in schools because it would piss off realtors who sold houses in those schools neighborhoods.
He is the Central Office administrator that Wayne Knight when to for help with his unethical interference in my curriculum.
He is among APS administrators who will not accept honest accountability to any meaningful standard of conduct.
Were he; he would have more to say than, "no comment".
