New rumor about Brooks' involvement in the scheduling snafu

No way to confirm this rumor one way or the other, as it is
"not the practice" of the leadership of the APS to respond to
legitimate questions with candor, forthrightness and honesty.

Never the less, the rumor is that APS Supt Winston Brooks
personally ordered the rescheduling of students at RGHS and
at other schools, to accommodate the scheduling of students
into his pet project; AVID. The rumor includes as many as
four aborted schedules in order to fill up his program to spend
lots of time and money on dedicated, but at risk, students in
an effort to help them graduate.

The rumor continues; students have been placed in the AVID
program without their knowledge, and conceivably against
their will, which would violate some pretty basic tenets of
the AVID program as I understand it.

Again, all rumor.

But it would explain Brooks' apparent willingness to accept
"responsibility" so quickly, although so far only for
other people's screw ups.
