Upcoming school board training; OMA violation?

The APS school board is scheduled for a training.

Despite the fact that they pay a million dollars a year to Monica Armenta et al, bo be communicated with; all that stakeholders really know about the training is that

• it is in response to one of Winston Brook's eight power goals, and that according to Gordy Rowe,
• it will be in October,
• in Houston, and
• really expensive.

Because the training is of public servants, on the public dime, and within their public service, the meeting should comply with the requirements of the NM Open Meetings Act.

Comply with;

• in an ethical sense,
  if they were accountable as role models of the student code of ethical conduct; "comply with" means open to stakeholders except in strict compliance with the spirit of the law.

• in a legal sense,
  "comply with" means; closed to stakeholders except that they can demonstrate an indisputable right to be there.

Students are taught that their character is vitally important,
and that their character rides on their willingness to do
more than the law requires, and less than the law allows.

By their personal example, the leadership of the APS is teaching students the diametrically opposite; that their only obligation is to do
as little as the law requires, and get away with as much as the law allows.



The training is designed to make them better leaders.
