APS Accountability is smoke and mirrors


APS and the NMIPRA

Before the board lowered its standards of conduct, they included this principle;
Ethical people often do less than is permitted by the law and more than is required.

In other words, with respect to public records, the board should be producing every public record that the law will allow.

Quite the opposite.

When it comes to public records like evidence of felony public corruption in the leadership of the APS and their publicly funded private police force, the board will produce only what the law absolutely requires “and only after an order from a court of the highest competent jurisdiction”.

More importantly; after squandering the public trust and treasure by draining the operational fund on litigation and legal weaselry.

That is one of the many reasons that the APS Board of Education and their next Superintendent want not to be held accountable to higher standards of conduct than the law; the lowest standards of conduct acceptable to civilized human; lowered still further by their exploitation of legal loopholes, technicalities and weaknesses in the law.

Nowhere in executive and administrative standards of conduct will you find due processes under which complaints can be filed against school board members and administrators and  where a principled resolution of the complaint can be expected.

Ethics and accountability in the leadership of the APS is smoke and mirrors.

Not unlike the media, the Journal in particular, and their purported dedication to draining the swamp.
