The Board of Education recognizes that classified staff of the District must enjoy private lives and may associate with others outside of school for political, economic, religious, cultural, or personal reasons. The Board and its supervisory staff, however, have a responsibility to evaluate staff members in terms of their faithfulness to and effectiveness in discharging school duties and responsibilities. Therefore, when nonschool activities threaten a classified staff member's effectiveness within the school system, the Board reserves the right to evaluate the impact of such activities upon the classified staff responsibilities to the Board.

With the issuance of a full-time contract, the Board becomes the individual's primary employer. No classified staff member shall then obligate or involve himself/herself to interests or vestments outside his/her position with the Board that interferes with the normal contractual commitment to the Board; except as approved by the Superintendent.
