Purpose
The Board recognizes that members of the staff must enjoy private lives
and may associate with others outside of school for political, economic,
religious, or cultural or personal reasons. The Board and its supervisory
staff, however, have a responsibility to evaluate employees in terms of
their faithfulness to, and effectiveness in discharging school duties and
responsibilities. Therefore, when non-school activities threaten a staff
member’s effectiveness within the school system; the Board reserves
the right to evaluate the impact of such activities upon a classified employee's
responsibilities to the district’s programs. Delegation
of Responsibility
The Board directs the Superintendent or designee to develop procedures
so that employees may avoid situations in which their personal interests,
activities, and associations may conflict with the interests of the district.
