APS School Board Code of Ethics is utterly unenforceable

By their own frank admission:
the APS School Board’s own code of ethics,
is utterly unenforceable.

The truth is; they're telling the truth.

The stink of it is; they won't tell you why.

Why is their Code of Ethics utterly unenforceable?
Why don't they have to explain why it isn't enforceable?

The simple proof; ask for any public record revealing due process of any kind, by which they can be held honestly accountable to their Code of Ethics.

This is no revelation to School Board members. 
They know or remaine willfully ignorant.

There will be no open and
honest public discussion of
ethics, standards and account-
ability while Peercy remains
in charge.
School Board President David Peercy has kept open and honest public discussion off the table at the Policy Committee he chairs for more than a decade.

He tabled the motion to reestablish the role modeling clause to the board's standards of conduct.  Before it was removed unanimously, it read;
in no case shall the standards of conduct for an adult be lower than the standards of conduct for students.

Peercy won't talk about ethics, standards and accountability because he can't really prove there are any; any standards or ethics that are enforceable by any due processes over which they and their lawyers cannot exert undue influence and, that are powerful enough to hold he and them accountable, even against their will.

Peercy and the board refuse to explain, in words at least most students can understand,
  • why are students are expected to model and promote honest accountability to a nationally recognized, accepted and respected code of ethical conduct, and 
  • their senior most executive and administrative role models are not?
They are demonstrably unaccountable even to the law;
the lowest standards of conduct acceptable to civilized human beings.

The reason they are not, is because public uproar over the abdication of the senior most role models in the entire APS, has yet to reach their ears.

There is a public forum.
You have to get there before 5pm; before most people get off work, or they won't let you sign up.
