... no one more culpable than is David Peercy

Twenty five years ago, the APS School Board passed a resolution that created new standards of conduct for students; higher standards.  They unanimously establish the Pillars of Character Counts!; a nationally accepted recognized and respected code of ethical conduct, as the standards of conduct to which students were to hold themselves accountable; honestly, actually accountable.

The resolution included the promise of adult role models who would show students what holding oneself accountable to higher standards of conduct than the law.

They had language in the own code of conduct that read;

In no case, shall the standards of conduct for an adult
be lower than the standards of conduct for students.

The board has since voted unanimously, to remove that clause and that expectation from their standards of conduct.  Thought they have neither amended nor rescinded resolution, they are ignoring virtually every promise they made in the resolution.

The board has be asked to place the 1994 Character Counts! Resolution on the table in a public meeting and then either reaffirm, amend or rescind it.

Apparently they will not.

There will be no open and honest
public discussion of ethics,
standards and accountability
while Peercy is in charge.

And there in no one more culpable for their relentless refusal to be candid, forthright and honest with stake and interest holders about ethics, standards and accountability in the leadership of the APS than APS School Board President David Peercy.
