1. Has APS Superintendent Luis Valentino had a background check?

"Jason Martinez was the hand-picked deputy superintendent of the Albuquerque Public Schools making $160,000 a year.

A jury trial is set on the child sex abuse charges, which involve two victims, an 8-year-old and a 13-year-old.
While on bond in that case, Martinez was arrested on assault charges on Jan. 25 of this year related to an altercation involving his boyfriend.

An amended set of charges filed in July 2012 by Denver prosecutors allege a pattern of sexual abuse that began in 2010, when Martinez was working for Denver Public Schools.

In the 2013 case, he is charged with Class 3 and 4 felonies. A Class 3 felony is punishable by up to 12 years in prison, and a Class 4 felony is punishable by up to six years in prison.
In the 2015 case, the most serious count is a Class 4 felony, the range again is up to 6 years in prison if convicted."
