The APS School Board's part in the cover up

Almost two years ago, a scandal in the APS Police Department
was made public.

Almost two years later, evidence of felony criminal misconduct,
is still being kept from law enforcement.

We are within days of the expiration of statutes of limitation,
and senior APS administrators are about to escape
the consequences of their criminal misconduct.

Board members will argue that they have three,
and only three responsibilities;

  1. approve the annual budget,
  2. write district policies, and
  3. hire a superintendent.

They will probably argue that the cover up of the
APSPD Peanut Butter Gate scandal is beyond their control.

The truth is that, anytime they want to,
they can write a district policy that requires district
administrators to step up to the consequences of their misconduct.

The truth is that, anytime they want to,
they can write a district policy that requires district
administrators to answer legitimate questions
candidly, forthrightly and honestly.


The truth is that, anytime they want to,
the board can write a policy that requires administrators
to held accountable as role models of the student standard
of conduct; a policy which requires administrators to
tell the truth.

They will not.


Several years ago,
I placed a legitimate motion before the APS school board.
It would have created a district policy that would have
required district administrators to tell the truth.

The motion was tabled by Robert Lucero
with the support of the entire board of education.

The Albuquerque Public Schools Board of Education;
  • Jon Barela
  • Marty Esquivel
  • Delores Griego
  • Mary Lee Martin
  • Berna Facio
  • Paula Maes, and
  • Robert Lucero
is tangentially complicit in an ongoing conspiracy
to cover up public corruption and criminal conspiracy
in the leadership of the APS (PD).

Superintendent Winston Brooks is directly complicit.

Somebody should do something.

Somebody should do something before statutes of limitation
expire, and the good ol' boys who broke the law,
go scot free. wikilink
