| Purpose
The Board recognizes that members of the administrative staff
must enjoy private lives and may associate with others outside of
school for political, economic, religious, cultural or personal reasons.
The Board, however, has a responsibility to evaluate administrators
in terms of their faithfulness to, and effectiveness in, discharging
school duties and responsibilities. Therefore, when non-school activities
impinge upon an administrator's effectiveness within the school system,
the Board reserves the right to evaluate the impact of such activities
upon his or her responsibilities to the students and to the district's
programs.
Delegation of Responsibility
The Board directs the Superintendent to promulgate guidelines so that
administrators may avoid situations in which their personal interests,
activities, and associations may conflict with the interests of the
district.
Guidelines
The following guidelines are provided for the direction of
administrators:
- Do not utilize school material for personal gain, copyrights to
materials or equipment developed, processed, or tested by district
employees in the performance of district activities in fulfillment
of the terms of their employment, reside with and may be claimed
by the district.
- Do not use school property or school time to solicit or accept
customers for private enterprises.
The Board does not endorse, support nor assume liability for any
staff member from this school district who conducts non-school outside
activities in which students and employees of this district may participate.
- Do not tutor for compensation students attending a school to which
a staff person is assigned without the prior written approval of
the Superintendent or designee.
- Do not participate in the recommendation of a specific tutor or
tutoring agency.
- Do not campaign on school property in behalf of any candidate
for local, State or national office.
- Do not use school time for outside activities when there is no
valid reason to be excused from assigned duties.
- Refrain from making public statements about private associations
or interests during school hours, if such are likely to violate
community standards of propriety.
