APS Superintendent Search Proceeds in Secret and Under a Cloud


The Albuquerque Public Schools Board of Education is in the process of hiring a superintendent.

The remainder of the candidate selection process will be conducted in meetings in secret, without oversight, and without recording.

The board in recent unanimous decisions, has

1. Stricken “role model” from their next superintendents standards of conduct, and

2. Lowered standards of conduct district-wide by removing from them, a nationally recognized, accepted and respected code of ethics. and

3. Ended, at once and for all, any district-wide effort to help develop and maintain good character in students.

Their votes were taken under circumstances that prohibited questioning them about what they were doing and why. Public forum was limited to two minutes in front of an empty room.


Their sway over the local media continues unabated.

There has not been a single report on the lowering of APS standards or on the abdication en masse of the entire leadership of the APS, from their duties and obligations as role models of student standards of conduct.
