THE ALBUQUERQUE PUBLIC SCHOOL BOARD HOLDS ITS REGULAR MEETING WEDNESDAY AT 5PM AND WILL DISCUSS WHAT THE DISTRICT NEEDS IN A NEW SUPERINTENDENT. WINSTON BROOKS RESIGNED FROM THE POSITION LAST FRIDAY AS THE BOARD MET TWICE LAST WEEK TO DISCUSS AN INVESTIGATION CENTERED ON BROOKS AND POSSIBLE DISCIPLINARY ACTION AGAINST HIM.
BOARD MEMBERS ARE NOW READY TO DISCUSS AND APPROVE QUALIFICATIONS FOR THE NEXT SUPERINTENDENT. THEY'LL ALSO TALK ABOUT THE QUALIFICATIONS FOR AN INTERIM SUPERINTENDENT … WHO HAS YET TO BE NAMED. RUBEN HENDRICKSON IS ACTING SUPER UNTIL THE INTERIM IS SELECTED.
BROOKS AND APS PARTED WAYS WITH A SETTLEMENT THAT GIVES HIM 350 THOUSAND DOLLARS … WHICH STILL HAS TO BE APPROVED BY THE STATE PUBLIC EDUCATION DEPARTMENT. ADDITIONALLY, THE FOUNDATION FOR OPEN GOVERNMENT IS DEMANDING APS EXPLAIN WHY IT WAS INVESTIGATING BROOKS GIVEN THAT HIS SETTLEMENT INCLUDES TAXPAYER DOLLARS.
