A Gathering of Albuquerque's Finest

Darren White, Kari Brandenburg, Paula Maes/Modrall,
Linda Sink, Phill Casaus, Kent Walz,
and Thomas J. Lang;
have gathered together to provide a blanket of immunity
for senior APS administrators including Tom Savage;
and public servants in the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office
from the consequences of felony criminal misconduct.

And to provide a cloak of invisibility for an institution that
requires no accountability to any meaningful standard of
conduct or competence for its senior most administrators
and board members.

Who simply refuse to discuss an immediate full scale forensic
administrative accountability audit of the public interests
in the administration of the public schools.


"no comment"


is neither an explanation, nor a defense,
nor is it even an acknowledgment of allegations of
public corruption and criminal conspiracy
in the leadership of the APS.


What kind of role model says, no comment?


Speaking of which; no comment yet from
Character Counts! National Vice President Jessica Ellis,
or from its founding father Michael Josephson.

Both of whom I assume, will continue to advocate for
telling children to stand up for what they believe in,
even if they are standing alone,
(without a single administrative or school boardmember role model)

and then telling those same children


... be seein ya.

I don't know the Charactor Counts leaders that you mention here, but I do know that Charactor Counts has been a money maker, as the federal and state governments give supplements for implementing it.
I doubt that you will be hearing anything from them because that's like cutting their own purse stringsa, then they will have to take "input" from other districts doing the same *&%^$^ as APS.
I'm not taking up for them, or APS...I refuse to do that!
The question now that poses itself in this situation... can an organization be a big personal profit maker (PAula Maes/Modrell & Charactor Counts organization as examples) and still hold themselves to Charactor Counts standards?
Of course they can...but it takes intewgrity, hard work and courage.
APS upper Admin lacks this....does Charactor Counts leadership follow suite?
Interesting to find out.

With all due respect, I would argue that it takes only courage.

When the question is asked,
are you willing to be held accountable in your public service, for your public service,

all they have to do is say yes.

Everything else can be dealt with.
