APS Board Policy Committee Passes Code of Ethics - NOT!

My heart and my spirit are broken.

For almost a decade and a half I have tried to get the leadership of the APS to hold itself honestly accountable to the student standard of conduct; honestly accountable as role models.

Last night, by a vote of 4 in favor, 0 opposed, and 1 not voting, the policy committee voted to adopt a code of ethics that is not a code of ethics at all. It falls miserably short of the standard of conduct to which the board and administration hold students accountable.

And by their own admission there is no mechanism to actually hold them accountable, even to this pathetically indefensible "code of ethics".

Without explanation, defense, or public input; they have again, formally excepted themselves from accountability to the student standard of conduct. They have formally, and discretely excepted themselves from accountability as role models.

I will of course, elaborate in subsequent posts before the final vote next Wednesday;

but for now, all I really want to do is puke.


(I have asked the District to publish their "code of ethics" on their website.

If they do, I hope that you will examine it.
If they won't, I hope you examine the reason for their refusal.)

Update; I have been informed that the "code of ethics" will not be released until after is has been approved by the board (and after it is too late to do anything about it).
