“A board member who has a personal or private interest in a matter proposed or pending before the board will disclose such interest to the board, will not deliberate on the matter, will not vote on the matter, will not attempt to influence other members of the board regarding the matter. The policy committee is vigilant with monitoring policy compliance. The committee meets regularly and handles all existing policies and creation of new policies. If there is a complaince issue regarding the conflict of interest policy the committee will address it and then bring it before the board of trustees if necessary in an open or closed session.”

“To determine the salary of the director, the personnel committee meets and approves the salary for presentation to the board of trustees. The committee then brings the salary to the board of trustees (school board) who vote on the salary. To determine the salary of other employees the director makes a recommendation to the personnel committee for agreement. The personnel committee then brings the employee salaries to the board of trustees to vote on. The personnel committee annually compares the salaries of surrounding school districts to the salaries of the academy for science and design's faculty and staff. The director and business manager also use these comparisons when setting the salaries of new hires.”

“All academy for science and design board minutes and policies are made available on the school website under the governance section.”
