STAFF  CONFLICT  OF  INTEREST

Employment  of  Close  Relatives

No person employed by the District may be directly supervised by a close relative(spouse, child, grandchild, parent, grandparent, brother, sister and their spouses, and the parent, brother, sister or child of a spouse).  This policy will apply for summer or part-time work as well as for full-time employment.

A dependent of a Governing Board member (a person more than half of whose support is obtained from a Governing Board member) cannot be hired in the District except by consent of the Governing Board.  The spouse of a Governing Board member cannot be employed by the District.

Direct  Supervision

Direct supervision includes the recommendation for hiring, making specific work assignments, evaluating, disciplining and effecting or recommending transfer, promotion or dismissal.  Indirect supervision includes receiving, acting upon or recommending decisions including those listed as examples of direct supervision.

Business  Relations

Any employee who has, or whose relative has, a substantial interest in any decision of the District shall make known this interest in the official records of the District, and shall refrain from participating in any manner as an employee in such a decision.

Vendor  Relations

No employee of the District will accept gifts from any person, group, or entity doing, or desiring to do, business with the District.  The acceptance of any business-related gratuity is specifically prohibited, except for widely distributed, advertising items of nominal value.

This policy should not be construed to deem unacceptable inexpensive novelty advertising items of general distribution.  Acceptance of business meals and holiday gifts for general consumption are acceptable under this policy.

District  Purchases
from  Employees

The District is required to follow the school district procurement rules for all purchases of goods or services from District employees regardless of dollar amount.  The District may acquire equipment, material, supplies, or services from its employees only under an award or contract let after public competitive bidding [A.R.S. 38-503; A.G.O. I06-002].  The requirement applies to any purchase using District monies, including extracurricular activities fees, tax credit contributions, and monies held in trust by the District such as student activities monies, when a District employee acts as the vendor.  Oral and written quotations do not satisfy the public competitive bidding requirements.
