1130 - CONFLICT OF INTEREST - PRIVATE PRACTICE
| A. | The proper performance of school business is dependent upon the maintenance of unquestionably high standards of honesty, integrity, impartiality, and professional conduct by Board of Education employees. Further, such characteristics are essential to the Board’s commitment to earn and keep the public’s confidence in the School District. For these reasons, the Board adopts the following guidelines to assure that conflicts of interest do not occur. These guidelines are not intended to be all inclusive, nor to substitute for good judgment on the part of all employees. |
| 1. | No employee shall engage in or have a financial interest, directly or indirectly, in any activity that conflicts or raises a reasonable question of conflict with his/her duties and responsibilities in the school system. | ||
| 2. | Employees shall not make use of materials, equipment, or facilities of the School District for any nondistrict activity without the permission of the Superintendent. Examples would be the use of facilities before, during, or after regular business hours for service to private practice clients, or the checking out of items from an instructional materials center for private practice. |
| B. | Exceptions to this policy shall be approved by the Superintendent before entering into any private relationship. |
