Winston Brooks' Hit and Run

APS Superintendent Winston Brooks was in town yesterday.
And then left without answering important questions.

We still don't know if he will be the first APS superintendent
in history who will be honestly accountable as a role model.
of the student standard of conduct.

The Journal wrote nothing about his visit,
KOB and KOAT have no links to coverage.

KRQE has the only link I could find. link

It would appear that honesty is not the man's strong suit.
I think it is fair to say that;

• he is impressed by APS' national reputation for "greatness"
• and he is prepared to come in and make sweeping changes.

May I assume that you understand,

a school system in need of sweeping changes is not likely
one which enjoys a nation wide reputation for greatness,

and/or

A school system with a national reputation for greatness
is likely not one in need of sweeping changes.

He is talking out of both sides of his mouth
before there is even a need to deceive stakeholders.

Winston Brooks could have simply said;
"I'm getting the lay of the land,
and I'll get back to you when I have a plan."

More importantly, aren't we already paying someone else
to shine us on about our schools?

Isn't it Monica Armenta's job
to be deceiving stakeholders into believing
that their school system enjoys a nation wide
reputation for greatness?
