If the dysfunction at Albuquerque Public Schools was not bad enough, it has taken a turn for the worse.
As the School Administration and School Board continue to hide from the taxpayers their “secret separation” with Winston Brooks, the former Supt. is now suing APS.
Frank Haley of KDAZ AM730 reports:
Former Albuquerque Public Schools Superintendent Winston Brooks is suing APS, claiming that interim Superintendent Brad Winter breached an agreement that said neither APS nor Brooks would disparage each other when they parted ways.
Brooks is seeking $125,000 plus attorney’s fees for comments Winter made Sept. 16, 2014, a month after Brooks agreed to resign. At that time, he and APS signed a termination agreement and he was paid $350,000.
Winter was quoted in a Journal story that, unlike Brooks, he would welcome community opinions and would work with community groups.
Winter is a longtime APS employee who served as an assistant superintendent under Brooks until he retired in May 2014. He came out of retirement three months later to serve as interim superintendent.
What a mess.
