APS Employee Standards of Conduct has a role modeling clause

If you dig deep enough in the about to be revised APS Employee Standards of Conduct, link, you will find a vestige of the role modeling clause that used to bind adults to the same standards of conduct they establish and enforce upon students;

In no case shall the standards (of dress) for employees be less than those prescribed for students in the Student Behavior Handbook.

That clause used to apply to more than clothing, and actually required adults to be role models of the Student Standards of Conduct.

Years ago, when I tried to hold the school board, senior administrators and their lawyers accountable to the same nationally recognized, accepted and respected code of ethics they enforced upon students, the board created immunity for itself and senior administrators, from being held accountable to the Pillars of Character Counts!, by voting unanimously to strike the Role Modeling Clause from adult standards of conduct; from their own Standards of Conduct.

So now its back, albeit in a nearly meaningless context; the standards of conduct for adult "dress" are to be no lower than the standards for students.

When it comes to standards of conduct for everything except dress, there will continue to be two standards of conduct;
students will continue to be expected to "model and promote the Pillars of Character Counts!, while board members and senior administrators will held accountable only to the lowest standards of conduct; the law fraught with all the "legal" loopholes, technicalities and weaselry that (our) money can buy.

The School Board and administration steadfastly refuse to hold open and honest public discussions of student standards of conduct, and of the obligations of adults, in particular school board members and administrators, to hold themselves honestly accountable to the same standards of conduct they establish and enforce upon students, as role models for students.

That is after all, what role modeling means.
