APS Official Seeks Ethics Hearing

APS' Elsy Fierro picked the short straw when the leadership of the APS went looking for a scapegoat for gradegate.

After an "investigation" by the state Public Education Department, an investigation that didn't investigate Beth Everitt's part in the play; it was decided that Elsy Fierro would be referred to the Educator Ethics Bureau to face ethics charges.

The NM Educator Ethics Bureau has since, done squat.

Despite the fact that Paul Calderon, who heads the ethics bureau, was part of the investigating team, his bureau is still "investigating" the situation. A spokeswoman for the NMPED said the ethics investigation is "continuing".

It would appear that the NMPED and the NMEEB, suffer from incompetence, corruption, or both.

According to the Journal, Fierro has asked a state district judge to order a hearing.

She thinks a hearing will clear her name. The fact that she is insisting on a hearing tends to substantiate that claim. Innocent people welcome an examination of the truth.

When you are looking for the guilty; look first for the ones who are trying to prevent a timely, honest and impartial examination of the facts; those who are hiding the truth.

In this case, that would be the leadership of the APS, the NMPED, and the NMEEB.
