There Will Always Be Pedophiles In Schools.

Schools are a "target rich environment".
It makes perfect sense.

Having done all that can be done to make sure that you don't hire pedophiles in the first place; the problem is reduced to removing them from schools at a later time.

The record of the leadership of the APS; in identifying and removing pedophiles, is a record of incompetence.

According the journal this morning (sub req),

"An Albuquerque Public Schools substitute was allowed to teach for several days at other schools after a staffer caught him in a Madison Middle School girls' restroom, police said Wednesday.

That's because neither the police nor APS human resources officials initially were told what happened, school officials said. However, even after human resources was informed, he continued to teach several days".


Darren White is quoted;
"Allowing the substitute to continue to teach in APS schools was inexcusable and potentially dangerous," White said. "They need to completely revamp their reporting procedures for this type of behavior."

"We were a little concerned that after six days, we did not have his APS records."


Beth Everitt's "defense"
"We hold our teachers and people in schools to our highest standard," Everitt said. "If there's question about behavior, we need to address it. We take everything seriously."
Among the things she does not take seriously,
would be honest accountability to those standards;
even it it's smallest measure.

"We hope to get to the bottom of this,"
APS spokesman Rigo Chavez said.



Right, and I hope to get to the bottom of
a pint of Haagen-Dazs, in more than one sitting.
