Town hall meetings; a measure of character and courage

A town hall meeting is different than any other method of
communicating with stakeholders.

Those with something to hide; avoid at all costs,
any situation where they can be asked an inconvenient question.

Take for example the question;

Are administrators and board members accountable
as role models for students and staff?
it is a simple and legitimate question.

It is also a question that the leadership of the APS has
gone to great lengths, not only to avoid answering,
but to avoid having asked, in public and on the record.

There are only two reasons to avoid a town hall meeting;
corruption and/or cowardice.

They are corrupt if they want to withhold the truth from
stakeholders.

They are cowards if they are afraid to tell the truth to stakeholders.

And no one can suggest any other reason that the
"leader"ship of the APS will not participate
in a town hall meeting.

Ergo; the leadership of the APS lacks character and/or courage;

and in the absence of any other explanation;
the only explanation must be the truth.
