Because the APS Student Standard of Conduct

is a "higher" standard of conduct than the "law"

the first APS Superintendent who is honestly accountable
to that higher standard of conduct

will be compelled by that code

to dismantle the good ol' boys club

by establishing meaningful standards of conduct and
competence for public servants within their public service

and a system under which complaints about that service
receive a principled resolution;

a system powerful enough to hold the corrupt and the incompetent

accountable for their corruption and their incompetence

even against their will.

Including the most senior administrative role model of all
the Superintendent of the Albuquerque Public Schools.

Which is why the good ol' boys in the APS need to keep
role modeling off the table during this exercise.


What other explanation is there, to explain a superintendent
selection process which specifically disallows anyone from
asking the absolutely legitimate question of a candidate;


Are you going to be a role model for students? Or not?
