United States Senator Pete "Domenici's long past program Character Counts!"There is a document called the APS Student Behavior Handbook. In so far as the school board approves it ever year, the handbook is an extension of APS School Board Policy.
According to the student handbook and school board policy;
Students are expected to model and promote the Pillars of Character Counts! Respect, Responsibility, Caring, Fairness, Citizenship and Trustworthiness.

It is clear from her testimony that she doesn't have the slightest idea what Character Counts! is about. None of them do. I would be surprised if any one of them could name the six pillars, much less hold themselves honestly accountable to them.
When the board voted to remove the role modeling clause from their own standards of conduct, they did it, if I remember correctly, by unanimous vote. It used to read;
In no case shall the standards of conduct for an adultStudents are expected to hold themselves honestly accountable to a nationally recognized, accepted and respected code of ethical conduct; the Pillars of Character Counts! link.
be lower than the standards of conduct for students.
The entire leadership of the APS simply abdicated as senior-most role models of the standards of conduct they establish and enforce upon students.
They've been covering it up ever since.

Before he does, make him tell you why he didn't tell you about it when it began, nearly a decade ago.
