I stumbled upon an MSN report, link, to a KOAT report on the most recent settlements of lawsuits against APS and former Supt Winston Brooks. I cannot find a link to the report on KOAT's own site.
At the end of the report, about two minutes in, the reporter said;
"APS says there is at least one other ongoing lawsuit involving Brooks."I am aware of at least three.
If the reporter, Megan Cruz, is telling truth about what "APS" said, then " APS" misled her in order that she would mislead KOAT viewers.
Who knows, who "APS" is. It could have been APS Executive Director of Communications Monica Armenta. It could be APS Director of Communications Rigo Chavez.
It is important to know who, because whomever it was, was being less than candid, forthright and honest with KOAT and by extension, with all stake and interest holders.
I will forward a link of this post to KOAT. I will challenge them to follow up on this issue;
- report on the exact number of outstanding law suits (and complaints in other venues) there are involving Winston Brooks and have yet to be settled, and,
- report on the number of dollars still on the table; dollars that will not be used to educate nearly 90,000 of this community's sons and daughters.
It would be nice to know in time for the school board member elections and the hiring of the new superintendent.
