Johanna King takes one for Armenta

Johanna King works in APS Communications Department
under Executive Director and APS' senior spokesperson,
Monica Armenta.

When KOAT TV asked APS about the heroin use at La Cueva,
Sandia and Eldorado High Schools; King's name appeared
under the district's response; not Armenta's.

It certainly sounds like something Armenta would write;

"APS continues to work in cooperation with the APD to keep our campuses safe and drug free. We are aware of a community drug problem and have resources available on our campuses."

According to KOAT, they were directed to take any further questions to "the city".

• How bad are the drug problems in APS high schools?
• Are campuses really safe and drug free?

Why should those questions be taken to the city?

They're legitimate questions. As such, they warrant candid,
forthright and honest responses.

Not some communications department underling's warm and
fuzzy gobbledegook, and directions to take the search for truth
elsewhere.
