There something wrong, really wrong with any administrator or board member who will not answer the question on the record.

As a senior role model in the APS;

Are you willing to hold yourself honestly accountable to
the student standard of conduct,

the Pillars of Character Counts,

a widely recognized, accepted and respected code of ethical conduct,

by system over which you have no undue influence, and

powerful enough to hold you accountable even against your will?


Any answer except yes is, no.


The leadership of the APS needs to step up, or step down.

Step up as a role model;

or step down as a public servant.



Thomas Lang, Kent Walz, Michelle Donaldson,
Thomas Pearl, and Sue Stephens,

step up to your responsibilities and obligations as journalists,
community members, and the only source of information for
informed democracy,

or step down and the publisher and editor of Journal, and as
the "news" directors of KRQE, KOAT, and KOB TV.
