APS School Board President David Peercy is Still a Liar; Here’s proof.

The APS School Board’s Policy and Instruction Committee resolved a problem today; double standards of conduct; higher standards of conduct for students than for their senior most adult role models.

The double standards have ended. They met this afternoon and came to a consensus; lower student standards of conduct.

Their solution; remove the following language from the APS Student Handbook;

… students are expected to model and promote the Pillars of Character Counts!...

That will be the last mention of a character education program adopted by a unanimous and still binding School Board Resolution, save one. In the greatest of ironies; The Pillars of Character Counts! still exist in the form of a decal on the fenders of patrol cars operated by APS’ public funded private police.

School Board President Peercy assured board members that they were accountable to even high standards of conduct written down elsewhere.
That’s a lie.

The Pillars of Character Counts! are an actual document; as clear an expression of standards of conduct one could want. They can be read as an excerpt from a booklet called Making Ethical Decisions.

From them and the Pillar of Trustworthiness emphasis added;
Honesty

There is no more fundamental ethical value than honesty. We associate honesty with people of honor, and we admire and rely on those who are honest. But honesty is a broader concept than many may realize. It involves both communications and conduct.

Honesty in communications is expressing the truth as best we know it and not conveying it in a way likely to mislead or deceive. There are three dimensions:

Truthfulness. Truthfulness is presenting the facts to the best of our knowledge. Intent is the crucial distinction between truthfulness and truth itself. Being wrong is not the same thing as lying, although honest mistakes can still damage trust insofar as they may show sloppy judgment.

Sincerity. Sincerity is genuineness, being without trickery or duplicity. It precludes all acts, including half-truths, out-of-context statements, and even silence, that are intended to create beliefs or leave impressions that are untrue or misleading.

Candor. In relationships involving legitimate expectations of trust, honesty may also require candor, forthrightness and frankness, imposing the obligation to volunteer information that another person needs to know.

Peercy cannot point to any standards of conduct wherein he is compelled to be candid, forthright and honest. Even if he were, he could not demonstrate any real accountability to them.

Peercy sat by recently, while another board member squandered $863K from the Operational Fund, in Federal Court in defense of his ego. By means of cost-is-no-object legal defenses, they’re arguably unaccountable even to the law; the lowest standards of conduct acceptable to civilized human beings.

The APS School Board’s own Code of Ethics is, by their own admission, utterly unenforceable.

In the meeting today;

Board Member Muller Aragon missed the point entirely, wondering only; why are we listening to the complaint of one person?

Board Member Armijo took umbrage to the suggestion that she was not willing to be a role model of honest accountability to the same standards of conduct that she established and has enforced upon students.

Board Member Peterson maintained that Character Counts! was an old program that wasn’t around any longer; ignoring the still binding school board resolution and oblivious to the fact that the reason it isn’t around anymore is because the standards of conduct are too high for school board members and senior administrators to hold themselves honestly accountable to.

The simple proof that Peercy is lying and school board members aren't really accountable to the same standards of conduct they establish and enforce upon students;

The student standard of conduct; in response to a legitimate question you will respond candidly, forthrightly and honestly, or forfeit your good character.

Why will you not support replacing the role modeling clause in your own standards of conduct? In no case shall the standards of conduct for an adult be lower than the standards of conduct for students.

Why will you not reconsider in an open and honest public meeting, the still binding school board resolution that promises higher standards of conduct for students and the provision of adult role models of accountability to those standards?

Student standard of conduct; expect more from yourself than the law requires and less than the law will allow; or forfeit your good character.

With respect to the corruption and incompetence in the leadership of the APS and its publicly funded private police force, will you order the production of every record that the law will allow, regarding the felony criminal misconduct, the investigative reports from all private investigators and lawyers, and any records proving that the district attorney’s office was ever made aware of state and federal felony criminal misconduct in the APS Police force in 2007 and2007?

Student standards of conduct are being lowered,
David Peercy is still a liar and
the Albuquerque Public Schools Board of Education is not willing to be held honestly accountable to meaningful standards of conduct and competence within their public service.

The Journal, KRQE and KOAT decided to not cover the abdication en masse of senior-most role models in the entire APS.

KOB TV did.  Good for them!
