APS Board set to destroy public records, "... because they can cause problems later."

APS Board Member Delores Griego just came back from a
people on school boards meeting, with the most offensive idea
that I have ever heard.

She thinks it would be a great idea to erase recordings of school
board meetings as soon as the minutes are approved.


In practical terms, this means that the videotape of the meeting where school board heavy hitter, Paula Maes announced that she "... will never agree ..." to any audit that names the names of the corrupt and the incompetent in the leadership of the APS, will be destroyed, and the only record of the meeting will be the minutes, which make no mention of Maes' unintentional candor.

raised no objection to the plan to destroy public records in order that they not be used to cause problems later.

Expect the motion to have the support of Robert Lucero, who would love to have the audio tape of him tabling the truth telling motion, erased.









Expect the motion to have the support of David Robbins, who would love to have his denial of due process for more than 100 whistle blower complaints, hidden from public knowledge.






Expect the motion to have the support of David Peercy, who would love to have the record of his opposition to an open and honest discussion of administrative and executive role modeling of the APS Student Standards of conduct, hidden from public knowledge.






APS Superintendent Winston Brooks would love to see the record of every school board meeting where he was asked to step up to his responsibilities as the senior most administrative role model of the APS Student Standards of Conduct and could not summon the character and the courage to do so, would love to see the videotapes of his lack of character and courage, destroyed.


Expect APS/Modrall to support the motion to destroy every public record of a half a dozen illegal arrests, in retaliation for my efforts to exercise my rights to free speech and to petition my government at open board meetings.

And finally, expect the motion to have the support of the Journal, whose readers will never know about the lack of character and courage of public servants, who are going to voters in February, to ask them to trust them with another $650M.


School Board Member Lorenzo Garcia's vote is up in the air.

So far, he hasn't done anything overtly unethical, except that he hasn't done anything overtly and conspicuously ethical either.

For example, he is yet to stand up as a role model of honest accountability to the APS Student Standards of Conduct;
the Pillars of Character Counts!

Update; I have been in correspondence with Mr. Garcia. As a result, I would like to reiterate that I am not suggesting that he has done anything unethical. I hold him in high regard. My point is that the most ethical man in the world is not a role model of ethical behavior, if no one sees him behaving ethically.
