GIFTS TO SCHOOL PERSONNEL
Gifts from Suppliers and/or Contractors
The members of the Board of Education and its employees wish to avoid any conflict between their personal
interests and the interests of the school district in dealing with suppliers, contractors and all organizations or
individuals doing or seeking to do business with the regional school district.
Although it is customary for some suppliers to give gifts to customers' employees at different times which are not
of more than nominal value, and are not intended to influence in any manner the school district's procurement
practices, the Board of Education requests, in view of the possible adverse publicity that might arise from such
practice on the part of the suppliers, that suppliers or potential suppliers do not include the name of any
individual connected with the school district on their gift lists.
Gifts to Board Members
one hundred dollars ($100)
No Board member or employee of the Board of Education shall directly or indirectly solicit any gift; or accept or
receive any gift having a value of twenty-five dollars ($25) or more, whether in the form of money, services,
loan, travel, entertainment, hospitality, thing or promise, or any other form, under circumstances in which it
could be reasonably inferred that the gift was intended to influence the Board member or employee in the
performance of his/her official duties or was intended as a reward for any official action on his/her part.
Gifts between Students and Teachers
Gifts between students and teachers shall be discouraged.
