Robbins does NOT! speak for the board!

That was the message several board members iterated and re-
iterated during their comments after the public forum.

School Board Member David Robbins created a brouhaha when
he started a rumor that the
Board was going to close CEC
and Coronado E. S.

The upset in the community drove
the number of them who showed up
at the public forum to such large
numbers, the board was "forced"
to limit them only one minute, instead
of the customary two minutes that are
usually allowed to citizens who want to petition their government.

Of those on the dais, Board Member Marty Esquivel was one
of the most visibly upset. You can watch if you like, on the APS website, link.

Watching him, it would appear that Esquivel understands that
individual board members
have no authority to act or
speak for the board.

Though he does believe,
apparently; board members
have the individual authority
to write illegal restraining
orders banning dissidents
from speaking freely and
petitioning their government for redress of grievances, at public forums, link.

He believes he has the individual authority to order that the illegal order be enforced by the (corrupt leadership of the) APS Police Department; APS' publicly funded private police force and Praetorian Guard. The APS Chief of Police Steve Tellez backed his play, in writing.

If you watch the board member comments, you will get to see

Board Member Lorenzo Garcia
continue to whine about the
inadequacy of public forum as
a means of communication.

His upset does not compel
him to actually do anything
about the fact that neither
he, nor any other board member,
nor any member of the senior
administration, will point to a time,
a day, and a place where they will
stand and deliver candid, forthright and honest responses
to legitimate questions about the public interests and their public service.

If you google "poster boy" for "talk is cheap", you will find
him there. Him and the rest of them; it's a group shot.
