will sign a sworn affidavit, under oath, and under penalty of perjury, that the APS school board has not violated the NM Open Meetings Act in any of their executive sessions (meetings in secret)?
Evidence introduced in federal court proved at least one instance of a blatant OMA violation during one of their meetings in secret.
Former APS School Board Member Kathy Korte has stated on social media on several occasions that the Open Meetings Act was violated while she was on the board.
Proof of the violations will be hard to come by because there is no proof. Nor will there ever be any proof of their OMA violations in their meetings in secret.
There will be no proof, no evidence, because the board, by their own deliberate decision, does not make any actual recordings of their meetings. Personal recollections of a note taker serve as the “public record”. Violations of the Open Meetings Act are not recollected.
Why would the board not record their deliberations except to hide the record of their own (mis)conduct during these meetings?
The recordings would not be available for public inspection except by the order of a judge and court of law.
What does the board do behind closed doors that must not only be hidden from stake and interest holders, but also must be hidden from judges and courts of law?
...except break the law?
