Policy Committee Meeting agenda is noteworthy

There will be a meeting of the APS School Board's Policy Committee Tuesday at 5pm; as per usual, it will begin before stakeholders with jobs can get to the meeting.

The agenda, link, is noteworthy in a couple of aspects.

It marks a beginning of alignment between policies and procedural directives. The board creates a policy, the administration creates a procedural directive that implements it. The policy and the directive are being proposed and discussed together. Ultimately, this will improve both policies and procedures.

At the bottom of the agenda, "future topics".

At one time, "future topics" included the discussion of whether the leadership of the APS will actually hold themselves honestly accountable as role models of the student standards of conduct.

Specifically, there is a motion, currently "tabled", to restore the role modeling clause to the code of conduct that applies to the leadership of the APS. The clause used to read;

In no case shall the standards of conduct for an adult,
be lower than the standards of conduct for students.

That discussion has been dropped from "future topics". It has simply disappeared from the agenda. Poof, its gone.

They are no longer even pretending that they intend to hold an open and honest discussion of administrative and executive role modeling of the student standards of conduct.

If nothing else, this is a violation of Robert's Rules of Order.
Board policy specifically and explicitly requires business according to Robert's Rules.

This of course is why they don't want to be held accountable
as role models of the Student Standards of Conduct;
under those higher standards,

people are actually expected to obey the rules.
