THE ALBUQUERQUE PUBLIC SCHOOL BOARD IS EXPECTED TO ANNOUNCE ITS CHOICE FOR AN INTERIM SUPERINTENDENT. THE BOARD HELD IT'S REGULAR FRIDAY MEETING TO CONSIDER THE CANDIDATES. AFTER WINSTON BROOKS RESIGNED AS THE HEAD OF APS LAST FRIDAY, RUBEN HENDRICKSON WAS APPOINTED ACTING SUPER.
THE BOARD STILL HASN'T GIVEN DETAILS ON WHY IT WAS INVESTIGATING BROOKS … ONLY THAT IT CONCERNED A "SERIOUS PERSONNEL" ISSUE. MEANWHILE, THE COURTS AND THE STATE PUBLIC EDUCATION DEPARTMENT HAVE YET TO APPROVE THE 350 THOUSAND DOLLAR BUYOUT OF BROOKS' CONTRACT.
NO WORD ON WHEN APS WILL HIRE A PERMANENT SUPER. BUT RALPH ARELLANES WITH THE HISPANO ROUND TABLE IS SUGGESTING THE PERSON SHOULD BE A LATINO SINCE MOST APS STUDENTS ARE HISPANIC.
