Do we really want to fix what's wrong?

It isn't so much what the APS School Board has done in the past, as it is, what will they do in the future.

If you ask them if they want to fix what's wrong in the APS, the will say, yes.  What they won't tell you is that they also want to cover everybody's asses.  That is what they have done in the past; manipulate truth telling to their own advantage; unbound by allegiance to ethics or even the law.

All else equal; a problem addressed by;

1. open and honest public discussion; two way communication between the leadership of the APS and the community members they serve, about the public interests and about their public service; the spending of our resources and the exercise of our power, or
   
   
2. hiding the problem while trying to solve it.  Pretending there are no discipline problems while trying to get discipline under control.  Hiding evidence of felony criminal misconduct by senior APS administrators, while trying to make sure it doesn't happen again.

The old board deliberately stifled public discussion.
The new board is mostly by far, the old board.

The first step in any legitimate problem solving problem is to admit that it exists.

If covering asses is more important than solving problems, problems will not get solved.  Do we really want to fix what's wrong?

Are we willing to let the chips fall where they may?
