Brad Winter lied

According to the APS Student Standards of Conduct, link;

Honesty in communications is expressing the truth as best we know it and not conveying it in a way likely to mislead or deceive. There are three dimensions:

Truthfulness. Truthfulness is presenting the facts to the best of our knowledge. Intent is the crucial distinction between truthfulness and truth itself. Being wrong is not the same thing as lying, although honest mistakes can still damage trust insofar as they may show sloppy judgment.

Sincerity. Sincerity is genuineness, being without trickery or duplicity. It precludes all acts, including half-truths, out-of-context statements, and even silence, that are intended to create beliefs or leave impressions that are untrue or misleading.

Candor. In relationships involving legitimate expectations of trust, honesty may also require candor, forthrightness and frankness, imposing the obligation to volunteer information that another person needs to know.

Listen to APS COO Brad Winter talk about the 700 felonies investigated by the APS Police Department last year, link, 2 hours 52 minutes.

Note; there are two kinds of felonies on the table; property crimes and others; like public corruption and cover up. Houston's MOU clearly allows APS PD to investigate felony property crimes, but does not let them investigate their own felony criminal misconduct. Winter's deliberate attempt to conflate the two is intended to "create beliefs or leave impressions that are untrue".

You will hear him say (quoted in significant part, view the context yourself);

• (if the MOU takes effect) "...we could not do felony investigations ..."
• "... APD and the County would have to do all felony investigations .."
• there were "... over(sic) 750 felony investigations we did last year ..."
• he told city CAO Robert Perry that "... you (APD) would be doing those (750) investigations in the schools..."

Are there really more than 750 felonies committed in the APS each year (which will have to be investigated by the APD because they aren't property crimes which the MOU clearly allows them to investigate, or is Winter trying to deliberately mislead interest holders?

Another measure of his honesty, his character and his courage, is his (un)willingness to tell the truth. Ask him for an candid, forthright and honest record of the spending on their new, and utterly unjustified, new board room. He will not respond candidly, forthrightly and honestly. He will not respond at all; thought stonewalling (silence) is expressly prohibited in the standards of conduct he, and they, establish and enforce upon students.

When the question is; will you tell the truth, any answer except yes means no.

Brad Winter has lied, and
he won't tell the truth.

He should be fired from APS,
and he should lose his seat on
the City Council.

Don't worry about how he'll
make out. APS pays his wife's
law firm more than enough
every year off education dollars
flowing through the APS to keep
them from starving.
