POLICY

I. CONFLICT OF INTEREST

No district employee will use his/her district position to obtain personal financial benefit or avoidance of financial detriment or financial gain or avoidance of financial detriment for relatives, household members or for any business with which the employee, household member or relative is associated. This prohibition does not apply to any part of an official compensation package, honorarium allowed by ORS 244.042, reimbursement of expenses, or unsolicited awards of professional achievement. Further, this prohibition does not apply to gifts from one without a legislative or administrative interest. Nor does it apply if the gift is under the $50 gift limit for one who has a legislative or administrative interest in any matter subject to the decision or vote of the district employee. District employees will not engage in, or have a financial interest in, any activity that raises a reasonable question of conflict of interest with their duties and responsibilities as staff members. This means that:

1. Employees will not use their position to obtain financial gain or avoidance of financial detriment from students, parents or staff;

2. Any device, publication or any other item developed during the employee’s paid time shall be

district property:

3. Employees will not further personal gain through the use of confidential information gained in the course of or by reason of position or activities in any way;

4. No district employee may serve as a Board or budget committee member in the district;

5. An employee will not perform any duties related to an outside job during his/her regular working hours or during the additional time he/she needs to fulfill the position’s responsibilities; nor will an employee use any district facilities, equipment or materials in performing outside work.

6. If an employee authorizes a public contract, the employee may not have a direct beneficial financial interest in that public contract for two years after the date the contract was authorized.

If an employee has a potential or actual conflict of interest, the employee must notify his/her supervisor in writing of the nature of the conflict and request that the supervisor disposes of the matter giving rise to the conflict. In order to avoid both potential and actual conflicts of interests, district employees must abide by the following rules when an employee’s relative or member of the household is seeking and/or holds a position with the district:

BETHEL SCHOOL DISTRICT #52 BOARD OF EDUCATION POLICY STATEMENT

1st Reading: 3/9/2015 No Changes

1. A district employee may not appoint, employ, promote, discharge, fire or demote or advocate for such an employment decision for a relative or a member of the household, unless he/she complies with the conflict of interest requirements of ORS Chapter 244. This rule does not apply to employment decisions regarding unpaid volunteer position, unless it is a Board-related position.

2. A district employee may not participate as a public official in any interview, discussion, or debate

regarding the appointment, employment, promotion, discharge, firing, or demotion of a relative or a member of the household. An employee may still serve as a reference, provide a recommendation, or perform other acts that are part of the normal job functions of the employee.

3. More than one member of an employee’s family may be hired as a regular district employee. In accordance with Oregon law, however, the district may refuse to hire individuals, or may transfer current employees, in situations where an appointment would place one family member in a position of exercising supervisory, appointment or grievance adjustment authority over another member of the same family.

In the conflict of interest context, a “member of the household” means any person who resides with the employee and “relative” means:

1. The employee’s spouse ; 2. Any children of the employee, or his/her spouse; and 3. Brothers, sisters, half-brothers, half-sisters, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, sons-in-law,

daughters-in-law, mothers-in-law, fathers-in-law, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, stepparents, stepchildren, or parents of the employee, or his/her spouse.

II. GIFTS

District employees must comply with the following rules involving gifts: Employees are public officials and therefore will not solicit or accept a gift or gifts with an aggregate value in excess of $50 from any single source in a calendar year that has a legislative or administrative interest in any matter subject to the decision or vote of the district employee. All gift related provisions apply to the employee, their relatives, and members of their household. The $50 gift limit applies separately to the employee, and to the employee’s relatives or members of household, meaning that the employee and each member of their household and relative can accept up to $50 each from the same source/gift giver.

1. “Gift” means something of economic value given to an employee without valuable consideration of equivalent value, which is not extended to others who are not public officials on the same terms and conditions.

2. “Relative” in the gift context means the spouse of the employee; any children of the employee or

of the employee’s spouse; siblings, spouses of siblings or parents of the employee or of the employee’s spouse: any individual for whom the employee has a legal support obligation; or any individual for whom the employee provides benefits arising from the employee’s public employment or from whom the employee receives benefits arising from that individual’s employment.

The term spouse includes domestic partners.

3. “Member of the household” means any person who resides with the employee.

Determining the Source of Gifts Employees should not accept gifts in any amount without obtaining information from the gift giver as to who is the source of the gift. It is the employee’s personal responsibility that no single source provides gifts exceeding an aggregate value of $50 in a calendar year, if the source has a legislative or administrative interest in any matter subject to the decision or vote of the district employee. If the giver does not have a legislative/administrative interest, the ethics rules on gifts do not apply and the employee need not keep track of it, although they are advised to do so anyway in case of a later dispute. Determining Legislative and Administrative Interest A legislative or administrative interest means an economic interest distinct from that of the general public, in any action subject to the official decision of an employee. A decision means an act that commits the district to a particular course of action within the employee’s scope of authority and that is connected to the source of the gift’s economic interest. A decision is not a recommendation or work performed in an advisory capacity. If a supervisor delegates the decision to a subordinate but retains responsibility as the final decision maker, both the subordinate and supervisor’s actions would be considered a “decision”. Determining the Value of Gifts The fair market value of the merchandise, goods, or services received will be used to determine benefit or value. “Fair market value” is the dollar amount goods or services would bring if offered for sale by a person who desired, but was not obligated, to sell and purchased by one who is willing, but not obligated, to buy. Any portion of the price that was donated to charity, however, does not count toward the fair market value of the gift if the employee does not claim the charitable contribution on personal tax returns. Below are acceptable ways to calculate the fair market value of a gift:

1. In calculating the per person cost at receptions or meals the payer of the employee’s admission or meal will include all costs other than any amount donated to a charity.

For example, a person with a legislative or administrative interest buys a table for charitable dinner at $100 per person. If the cost of the meal was $25 and the amount donated to charity was $75, the benefit conferred on the employee is $25. This example requires that the employee does not claim the charitable contribution on personal tax returns.

2. For receptions and meals with multiple attendees, but with no price established to attend, the source of the employee’s meal or reception will use reasonable methods to determine the per-person value or benefit conferred. The following examples are deemed reasonable methods of calculating value of benefit conferred:

a. The source divides the amount spent on food, beverage and other costs (other than charitable

contributions) by the number of persons whom the payer reasonably expects to attend the reception or dinner;

b. The source divides the amount spent on food, beverage and other costs (other than charitable contributions) by the number of persons who actually attend the reception or dinner; or

c. The source calculates the actual amount spent on the employee.

BETHEL SCHOOL DISTRICT #52 BOARD OF EDUCATION POLICY STATEMENT

1st Reading: 3/9/2015 No Changes

3. Upon request by the employee, the source will give notice of the value of the merchandise, goods,

or services received.

4. Attendance at receptions where food and beverage is provided as part of the reception is permitted without regard to the fair market value of the food and beverage provided.

Value of Unsolicited Tokens or Awards: Resale value Employees may accept unsolicited tokens or awards that are engraved or are otherwise personalized items. Such items are deemed to have a resale value under $25 (even if the personalized item cost the source more than $50), unless the personalized item is made from gold or some other valuable material that would have value over $25 as a raw material. Entertainment Employees may not solicit or accept any gifts of entertainment over $50 in value from any single source in a calendar year that has a legislative or administrative interest in any matter subject to the decision of the employee unless:

1) The entertainment is incidental to the main purpose of another event (i.e. a band playing at a reception). Entertainment that involves personal participation is not incidental to another event (such as a golf tournament at a conference); or

2) The employee is acting in their official capacity for a ceremonial purpose.

Entertainment is ceremonial when an employee appears at an entertainment event for a “ceremonial purpose” at the invitation of the source of the entertainment who requests the presence of the employee at a special occasion associated with the entertainment. Examples of an appearance by an employee at an entertainment event for ceremonial purpose include: throwing the first pitch at a baseball game, appearing in a parade and ribbon cutting for an opening ceremony.

Exceptions The following are exceptions to the ethics rules on gifts that apply to employees.

3) Gifts from “relatives” and “members of the household” are permitted in an unlimited amount; they are not considered gifts under the ethics rules.

4) Informational or program material, publications, or subscriptions related to the recipient’s

performance of official duties.

5) Food, lodging, and travel generally count toward the $50 aggregate amount per year from a single source with a legislative/administrative interest, with the following exceptions:

a. Organized Planned Events. Employees are permitted to accept payment for travel conducted in the employee’s official capacity, for certain limited purposes:

1. Reasonable expenses (i.e. food, lodging, travel, fees) for attendance at a

convention, fact-finding mission or trip, or other meetings do not count toward the $50 aggregate amount IF:

6) Food or beverage, consumed at a reception, meal, or meeting IF held by an organization and IF

the employee is at the event to give a speech or answer questions as part of a scheduled program. “Reception” means a social gathering.

Food and beverages are often provided, but not as a plated, sit-down meal.

7. Food or beverage consumed by an employee acting in an official capacity in the course of financial transactions between the public body and another entity described in ORS 244.020(6)(b)(I)(i).

POLICY The Board believes that all students have the right to learn in an atmosphere that is conducive to their success. The abuse of drugs and alcohol by employees will have a deleterious effect on the ability of the student to learn and on the ability of the staff to provide a meaningful educational program. The district intends to provide a safe work environment and encourage personal health. With respect to the use and abuse of chemicals, all district employees are responsible to act as role models for students. Prohibited Conduct The possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol on school premises or as a part of any of the district's activities is prohibited. The possession or distribution of drug paraphernalia associated with illegal drug use or of "look-alike" substances that are represented or purported to be illegal or controlled substances is also prohibited. Any employee who admits to or who is observed to be under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs while at work or who possesses, sells, trades, or offers for sale illegal drugs may be subject to disciplinary action up to and including recommendation for dismissal and a referral for possible prosecution. a. "Drugs" shall include any narcotic drug, hallucinogenic drug, amphetamine, barbiturate, marijuana, or

any other controlled substance. Alcohol shall include any form of alcohol for consumption, including beer, wine, wine coolers, or liquor.

b. "Workplace" shall mean the site for the performance of work done for the district. This includes any

district building or any district-approved vehicle (including the employee's own vehicle) used to transport students or fellow employees to and from school or school activities, or to transport fellow workers to and from different work sites; and off-school property during any district-sponsored activity or district-approved activity, event or function, such as field trip or athletic event, where students are under the jurisdiction of the district.

Prescription Medication Any employee who is under the treatment of a physician and who must bring prescription medicines to the workplace shall carry the medicines in the original container bearing the name of the drug, the name of the physician, and the prescribed dosage. Reporting the Use or Presence of Drugs or Alcohol Any employee who is aware of the use of drugs or alcohol by employees or the presence of controlled substances on district property, in district vehicles, or at school-sponsored activities should bring such information to the attention of a supervisor or the Assistant Superintendent or designee.

March 9, 2015 RESOLUTION NO. 14-15: 51 Whereas, This state’s children constitute “The Promise of Oregon” through their potential as thinkers, leaders, and caretakers of their generation and the future; and Whereas, We believe funding a strong system of public education is the best investment Oregonians can make to strengthen our economy, create thriving communities and improve the quality of life for every Oregonian; and Whereas, We support a well-rounded curriculum that meets the needs of Oregon’s students, including: art, music, PE, career and technical training and co-curricular activities, and Whereas, We must ensure that efforts to close the academic achievement gap and supports for students who have been historically underserved are expanded; and Whereas, Oregon’s public schools have experienced a prolonged period of unstable and inadequate funding that has resulted in dire consequences: thousands of teacher and staff layoffs, unacceptably large class sizes and one of the shortest school years in the country; and Whereas, The 2013-15 budget marked the beginning of a turnaround in school funding, the 2015 Legislative Session will prove whether that turnaround will continue forward or stall; and Whereas, Oregon’s political leaders have codified an ambitious “40-40-20” goal for our education system to reach by the year 2025, which requires a significant financial investment to attain; and Whereas, The case must be made to Oregon’s voters that the Legislature needs to prioritize investments in full-day kindergarten, a full school year for every student in every district and modern, safe school facilities in every community in our state; and Whereas, School Board members need to help shoulder the responsibility for making the case to Oregon’s voters that investments must be made so that every child has the opportunity to become a responsible and productive citizen of our state. Now, Therefore, the Bethel School District No. 52, Lane County, Board of Directors of School District No. 52, Lane County pledges to join in and support the efforts of “The Promise of Oregon” campaign to ensure that Oregon’s lawmakers continue to prioritize investments to improve the educational outcomes for Oregon’s greatest natural resource: our children.
