City Councilor Pat Davis Forsakes APS Students Right


Approximately 10,000 of Councilor Pat Davis' constituents are students in the Albuquerque Public Schools.

For at least the second time now, Councilor Pat Davis has considered the role modeling clause that the APS School Board removed from its own standards of conduct and refuses to even consider replacing.  It reads;
In no case shall the standard of conduct for an adult be lower than the standards of conduct for students.

The first time Davis considered APS' role modeling clause, he claimed that it contains “vague and coded language”.   

Davis has had a couple of opportunities to explain and or defend his contention and has not.

This time, he was asked to step up in the effort to stop the leadership of the APS from lowering student standards and abdicating en masse from their own duties as role models.

His response;
no, it’s not my problem
... but it so is, isn't it?

APS students have a right to adult role models of honest accountability to the same standards of conduct that the board establishes for them and that the administration enforces upon them.

What is so vague and coded about any of that?
