By Unanimous Decision* The Board of Educations Proclaims its Goals for SY 07-08

*Marty Esquivel was absent.

There are four goals.

None has anything to do with being better role models.

One says; their goal is to increase efficiency of all communication processes between the Board of Education and all stakeholders.

At the same time they steadfastly refuse to answer legitimate questions.

Questions like;

why won't you explain why you are no longer accountable as role models for the student standard of conduct?

It is a legitimate question.

The board has excepted itself from accountability to any meaningful standard of conduct. They are no longer accountable as role models. I would like to know why they have abdicated as the senior role models for 99,000 students in the APS; and they won't answer the question.

But by unanimous vote tonight, they have just promised the community that their goal is to increase communication "efficiency". What the hell kind of word is efficiency to use to describe communication?

My bet is that it is the word that a group of Modrall lawyers decided upon, as the standard that they could most easily except themselves from, in a court of law.

What would the community think if they knew that the board just set a meaningless and misleading goal as their standard of communication with stakeholders?

The question is moot. It is moot because the community will never find out what happened.

They will never know; because the newspapers won't report it.

The TV news wasn't even there.


And Monica Armenta sure isn't going to try to explain it.


And so there we are. The leadership of the APS has systematically, methodically, and deliberately excepted itself from accountability to any meaningful standard of conduct at all.

• They are no longer accountable as the senior role models for employees and students in the APS.
• They are not accountable as role models, nor as stewards of a billion tax dollars a year, nor as public servants.
• They have used the Modrall law firm to except themselves from accountability even to the law.
• Sherriff Darren White is covering for them.
• District Attorney Kari Brandenburg is covering for them.
• The Journal and the Trib are covering for them.
• and, KOB, KOAT, and KRQE are covering for them.
  

If this were some crazy conspiracy theory; wouldn't you expect that at least one of them would deny the allegation and offer controverting proof;
if any such proof existed; any proof at all?

Not one of them will,
because not one of them can,
because no such proof exists;

... not even in its smallest measure.
