APS Bond Issue/Mill Levy – What changed?

The Albuquerque Journal is reporting this morning that the leadership of the APS commissioned a poll in July whose results indicate that voters are ready to pass the bond issue and mill levy.

The Journal report failed to delve deep enough to determine why voters supposedly changed their minds.

• Has the board finally made their own Code of Ethics enforceable?
• Have they stopped meeting in secret and without recording, to spend the operational fund on cost-is-no-object legal defenses for school board members and senior administrators?
• Have they adopted even one higher standard of conduct or competence?
• Have they provided new due processes by which they can be held honestly accountable to any standards of conduct at all?
• Have either the supt or the board even acknowledged that there is a standards and accountability crisis?
• Have they stopped using their publicly funded private police force to investigate criminal misconduct of school board members and senior administrators, the very people, the only people to whom they report?

What has changed?   

What has the leadership of the APS done to indicate that they really do understand why voters are reticent to trust them with another dime?   

What have they done to indicate that they finally understand that their squandering of the public trust and treasure must end?
