APS' Linda Sink, Sinks Administrative Accountability Audit

APS School Board President Paula Maes has apparently made good on her vow that she would never allow an audit that would hold individual administrators "...like Tom Savage..." accountable for their conduct or competence.

According to Toby Herrera, Director, APS Student, School and Community Service Center, Linda Sink "... will allow the newly hired superintendent and the BOE to make any decisions on whether or not to have an audit."

In other words, APS has what it has always had,
a superintendent who will leave it up to the next superintendent to end the good ole boys system in the APS.

The biggest immediately resolvable problem in the APS,
is the lack of accountability in its leadership.
Mayor Chavez found the lack of accountability so egregious
as to require a mayoral takeover of the school board.
Governor Bill Richardson publicly admitted to, and apologized for, APS' earned statewide reputation for its lack of accountability.

An accountability audit is clearly in order, yet falls a distant second to the top administrative priority which is protecting good ole boys from the consequences of their incompetence and corruption.

The school board has hired an interim superintendent to continue the cover up of an ethics and accountability scandal in the leadership of the APS.

The will hire a permanent replacement, probably Linda Sink, who will continue the cover up indefinitely.

Anyone who believes otherwise, would seem not to be paying attention.
