The Trib's Coverage of the Policy Committee Meeting

The Trib covered the policy committee meeting with two stories, here, and here.

Between the two articles, readers found out about the name of the new high school and about the fact that the committee gave a "do pass" recommendation on the motion to arm the APS police.

The article did not reveal the administration's plan to hold employees accountable for their conduct out of school and away from students.

The Trib chose not to inform union members that their unions have been left out of the decision making process; again. The Trib chose not to give employees the opportunity to protest the fact that they were denied meaningful participation in a decision that affects their interests; again; that their trust has been betrayed; again.

They have been denied a chance to protest the fact that the leadership of the APS is going hold employees accountable to a higher standard of conduct than their own. They have been denied the opportunity to protest the fact that, the leadership of the APS cannot demonstrate by their record, that they are accountable to any standard of conduct at all.

... bad Trib. bad.
