Newspaper reports on school board abuse of power

No, it's not the Journal, it's the Santa Fe Reporter, link.
If only Albuquerque had that kind of coverage of our public
schools leadership.

If it sounds familiar it is. This is exactly what APS' board does.
Not only are dissidents gaveled down but worse. Journal
reporters have witnessed or been made aware of a dozen
illegal "arrests' and have not written about it once.

I blame Journal editor Kent Walz.

He is seen here in front of Dixon
Award banquet goers, explaining
why APS Supt Winston Brooks
deserves recognition as a hero of
transparency while at the same
time he was helping Brooks hide
from public knowledge; the Caswell Report on the felony criminal misconduct of APS senior administrators.

According to the Santa Fe Reporter;

"The BoE's first reading of a new board policy titled "Public Participation at Board Meetings" is the first action item on the agenda for tonight's meeting ..."

It will be interesting to see if the letter from the The New Mexico Foundation for Open Government will have any effect on the Santa Fe School Board. They wrote a similar letter to the leadership of the APS about their suppression of the Caswell Report, and you can see for yourself how little difference it made.
