Elephant in the room at SFPS board meeting

In the Journal this morning, link, a report on a meeting of the Santa Fe public schools board of education.  The school board and the superintendent wore T-shirts in support of one of their principals and his handling of criminal misconduct on his campus.

The elephant in the room; a conflict of interests;

school board members, superintendents and principals
have an interest in under reporting crime.  

Whether they actually give way to their interests is moot; there is still the appearance of a conflict of interests.  It is particularly intolerable, if the school board members, superintendents and principals steadfastly refuse to deny, defend, for even acknowledge their conflict.

The Journal proves to be still,
no great shakes in elephant spotting.
